PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The UAF development department is responsible for fundraising. We have two major fundraising events: our annual Oscar Night Gala in March, the Walk for Life in September, as well as the Seasons Givings event during the holidays. Volunteers are needed to staff each of these events, as well as serve on committees to plan the events. Other awareness events, such as World AIDS Day on December 1st happen throughout the year.

SKILLS NEEDED:
Positions on the day of these events may include: drivers and movers, set up, logistics, food service, team coordinators, registration, ticket takers, crossing guards, hosting, project coordinators, etc...  Volunteers are also needed for the planning committees for each of these events.

HOURS AVAILABLE:
Event specific. Shifts are flexible

WHY THIS PROGRAM:
Special events are a lot of fun to plan and scheduling is flexible. Serving on an event planning committee is a great way to meet other volunteers.  These committees are temporary-- they meet for several months before the event, and are good for volunteers who know they have time to volunteer for a few months, but aren‘t sure what their schedules will be like after that.  You‘ll also have the satisfaction of seeing all of your work culminate in an exciting public event.
