ABC Kite Festival Kite Sales Help

Want to be a part of a 98-year old Austin tradition and spend a spring day outdoors in a beautiful park with a spectacular view?

Become a part of the ABC Kite Festival in Zilker Park on Saturday April 5th by volunteering with the Exchange Club of Austin and help give back to our community. The Exchange Club founded the Kite Contest in 1929 and continues to raise money for local charities through the Kite Festival. Funds raised through kite sales directly benefit children in Austin to overcome obstacles and continue their education through local non-profits such as LifeWorks and Family Eldercare.

This is a high energy day at a spectacular and iconic event in Austin. Fun and fast paced, volunteers will be helping the public select and purchase kites to fly at the festival. Volunteers will work directly with members of the Exchange Club which is an all volunteer non-profit community service group.

Sales experience is helpful however we can train on the spot. Ability to do cash transactions is required. Experience with Venmo and use of the square application for credit cards on a cell phone is a plus but not required. Work will start at 9am with booth set up, booth opens at 10am and closes between 3 and 4pm or until kite inventory is gone. Parking, lunch and drinks are provided to volunteers and there will be rest breaks during the day. Experience with kites is a plus but not necessary to volunteer for this event.

Help Austin kids get an education and make 'Kite Day' fun and festive for many folks. More information on the festival can be found at http://www.abckitefestival.org. The Exchange Club can be found at: http://www.austinexchange.org/welcome.
