    Description

    Community Walk Welcome & Registration Helper

    Walk With Your People™ is a volunteer-led community initiative inviting people to get outside, walk together, and reconnect through conversation — one step and one conversation at a time.

    We’re looking for one or two friendly volunteers to help welcome walkers at our inaugural community walk on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

    What you’ll do

    • Greet walkers as they arrive
    • Help with light check-in (names / headcount)
    • Answer simple questions
    • Help create a warm, inclusive atmosphere

    No prior experience required — just a friendly presence and a willingness to welcome others.

    Who this is for

    • Community-minded people
    • Students, retirees, creatives, neighbors welcome
    • Anyone who enjoys meeting people and creating welcoming spaces

    This is a volunteer-led, free, and open initiative.
