    Description

    Part greeter, part historian, all trolley enthusiast! As a trolley platform agent, you'll be the friendly face visitors see as they approach the Issaquah Valley Trolley, anticipating the fun and excitement of their 20-minute ride aboard our 101-year-old machine.

    Join our trolley volunteer squad on the platform during trolley runs to help visitors purchase and use their tickets to board the Issaquah Valley Trolley. Responsibilities may include:

    • Sharing real-time information on ticket availability
    • Providing in-the-moment support to trolley riders struggling with their online ticket sales
    • Checking in guests using the Wix check-in app and issuing paper boarding passes
    • Directing walk-up riders to our QR codes to buy tickets
    • Using your judgment on when to issue refunds, vouchers, or otherwise compensating guests

    New volunteers and existing volunteers are both welcome. Experience with event ticketing, mobile check-in apps, or a similar function is a plus, but not required.

    You choose your shifts: Options are Saturdays and Sundays, with shifts from 10:30am 2:30pm.

    Location

    On-site

    How to Volunteer for This Opportunity
