    Description

    Event Planning Committee

    Volunteer Event Planning Committee

    Help us make the annual Walk to End Homelessness an event to remember!

    The Walk to End Homelessness is the New London Homeless Hospitality Center’s largest annual awareness-building and fundraising event, bringing our community together to support neighbors experiencing homelessness and help create pathways to housing stability.

    We are seeking enthusiastic, creative, and community-minded volunteers to join our Event Planning Committee. Whether you have experience organizing events or simply enjoy bringing people together for a great cause, your talents can make a difference.

    Volunteer opportunities include:

    • Marketing & Promotion: Help spread the word through social media, community outreach, and promotional materials.
    • Sponsorships: Assist with identifying, securing, and recognizing event sponsors.
    • Registration & Fundraising: Encourage participation, support ticket sales and registration, and help engage fundraising teams.
    • Event-Day Logistics: Help coordinate volunteers, registration, activities, and other details that make the event run smoothly.
    • Post-Event Follow-Up: Assist with thank-you messages, sponsor recognition, and celebrating the event’s impact.

    What we're looking for: People who enjoy teamwork, bring fresh ideas, and are willing to roll up their sleeves to help create a successful event. Whether you can contribute a few hours or take on a larger role, there's a place for you on our committee.

    Join a great team of people who care deeply about our community and help make the Walk to End Homelessness an unforgettable experience that inspires action, raises critical funds, and brings us closer to a future where everyone has a place to call home.
