Community Event Volunteers — Harmony Blossom Festival Prelude

Healing Circle Foundation Inc. is seeking volunteers for Harmony Blossom Festival: One Heart, a Thousand Cultures — Prelude, a free community gathering in Rosedale, Queens.

This intimate event will bring neighbors together through interactive art, cultural expression, and meaningful conversation. It will also introduce our vision for a larger Harmony Blossom Festival planned for May 2027.

We’re looking for friendly, dependable volunteers who enjoy working with people and helping community events run smoothly.

Event Details

• Date: Saturday, November 14, 2026
• Event time: 5–7 PM
• Location: 244-04 North Conduit Avenue, Rosedale, Queens, NY 11422
• Nearby landmark: Rosedale LIRR station
• Format: In person
• Commitment: One-day event; volunteer shifts will be coordinated individually. Please let us know whether you can help before, during, or after the event.

How You Can Help

Depending on your interests and availability, volunteer roles may include:

• Setup and decorating: Arrange tables, chairs, signage, and activity supplies.
• Welcoming and guest check-in: Greet attendees, assist with registration, and help guests find their way.
• Community art support: Help the teaching artist organize materials and assist participants with the activity.
• Artist and program support: Welcome participating artists and speakers and help with transitions between activities.
• Cultural food table support, if included: Assist with table organization and distribution under the event team’s direction.

• Cleanup and breakdown: Gather supplies, take down decorations, and help restore the space.

Please tell us which roles interest you. You do not need to volunteer for the entire event to express interest.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome volunteers who are:

• Friendly, respectful, and comfortable interacting with a diverse community.
• Reliable and willing to follow through on an agreed shift.
• Interested in arts, culture, wellness, or community-building.
• Comfortable working collaboratively and following event-team guidance.

Previous event experience is welcome but not required. We will provide role-specific instructions. Please share any relevant skills, languages you speak, or accommodations you would like us to consider when matching you with a role.

Why Volunteer?

This is an opportunity to meet neighbors, support local artists, gain hands-on community-event experience, and help create a space where people feel welcomed and connected.

This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity. Volunteering at the November prelude does not require a commitment to the May festival, although we welcome interest in future and paid opportunities.
