    Extra Support Needed for Family Activities & Event Security

    Can you help us by leading the family & kid-friendly activity booth on Sunday during the Pride Festival? Or by helping to oversee an existing safety plan? We still need 1-2 "super volunteers" who can help coordinate a dedicated team for fun activities throughout the day and to make our event as safe and secure as possible.

    Just send us a quick note at ithacapridealliance@gmail.com with your interest. The time commitment is to be available during Sunday's Pride Community Festival, and ideally available for 1-2 hour long meetings before the event to coordinate.

    -----------------------------

    All volunteers will receive a volunteer t-shirt.

    Volunteers will have access to water and snacks during their shift, and there are shifts for every ability! Saturday & Sunday vouchers for food from our vendors. The closing shift on Sunday will also have dinner provided.

    You may sign up for as many shifts as fit your schedule, as long as they do not overlap. You can also change your shift up until the week of Pride - just come back to this website and use the same login information.

    Please contact ithacapridealliance@gmail.com with any questions!
