2024 MLK: Career Fair Set-up and Support

Get Connected Icon Happens On Jan 15, 2024
Get Connected Icon 2 shifts: 7:30am - 2pm
Expired

Description

Career & Opportunity Fair Set-up and Support volunteers will help load-in materials, set-up for a career and opportunity fair in Garfield's main building, welcome participants, and pack up at the end.

Volunteers will:

  • load-in and set-up tables, chairs, exhibitor materials, and post signage
  • direct parking, greet and check-in employers and participants
  • during the fair, provide direction and support for attendees and exhibitors
  • following the fair, break down + stack tables, clean up rooms and common area

You will be connected with your volunteer lead approximately a week before the event, and they will work with you on assignment to a specific shift. If you are unable to lift boxes/tables, let your volunteer lead know and they can assign you a task w/out lifting. This role may be outdoors for volunteers supporting vendors in the parking lot and partially outdoors while loading the tables and supplies in/out of the building

Once your volunteer shift is done, you are welcome to join the march (to a location tbd w/ food). Information on workshops, job fair, rally, and youth event is updated regularly at www.seattlemlkcoalition.org   #MLKSeattle

To ensure the safety of everyone at our events, we still encourage healthy practices such as staying home when sick, washing hands regularly, and listening to healthcare experts as new information becomes available.

Get Connected Icon Q: How will you raise awareness of - and reflect on - the role of racial and social justice within the volunteer project?
A: We organize a large-scale celebration of Dr. King's life. The focus of the various events that are part of the celebration align with issues he worked on: racial equality, economic justice, peace, and a commitment to non-violence.
