    Description

    The Actors Theatre Workshop (ATW) is in need of seasonal volunteers to help serve a festive meal to children living in temporary housing or on the spectrum and who will attend our annual Holiday Class and Celebration and help clean-up afterwards on Wednesday, December 9th.

    Volunteers will do any or all of the following (activities may change depending on donor availability):

    • Plate and serve nutritious, home-cooked a multi-course dinner (dessert, beverages) to approx. 40-50 children and mentors. Volunteers who interact directly with children will be provided a set of rules they must sign and complete a brief on-site training session.
    • Help clean and organize after food service is complete. This includes plate pickup and disposal, trash removal, washing dishes, table breakdown, and light cleaning. Gloves will be provided.

    Other important info:

    • The day’s events will be videotaped & photographed for our program documentation and communication purposes. Volunteers must be comfortable with this. We will distribute Video Releases to each volunteer when they arrive to review and sign. We cannot accommodate any volunteer who doesn’t wish to be taped.
    • Please note that volunteers will be divided into smaller groups, and depending on our needs, there is no guarantee that you will be working on a specific task that you had in mind. We appreciate your willingness to help out with whatever needs to be done.
    • This event operates on a tight schedule. There will be a lot of activity with children, and people during this volunteer event. To keep the event moving efficiently with a volunteer crew, instructions provided by ATW staff will be brief and to the point.
    • Participants must dress in business casual or festive holiday attire. We want to look nice and professional for the event, as this is a special Holiday celebration for the kids. We suggest flat shoes and no short skirts.
    • Due to the popularity of these events, participants who sign-up should arrive PROMPTLY and stay for the whole event.
