About the Role
ASCENDtials is building a family‑friendly ecosystem where children can learn, imagine, and feel rooted in culture and community. Our Cultural Storytelling & Children’s Programming Volunteers help create a joyful, safe, and welcoming space for young learners during our farmers market activations, marina events, and one‑day retreats.
This role blends creativity, cultural pride, and gentle guidance — perfect for volunteers who love working with children and believe in the power of story, ritual, and play.
What You’ll Do
Who You Are
Why This Matters
Children are the roots of our ecosystem. By offering accessible, culturally rich programming, we help families feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. Volunteers in this role become part of a movement that uplifts community resilience, cultural pride, and ecological awareness.
What You Gain
Our onboarding process is simple and supportive. New volunteers first attend a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday onboarding session where we help you get fully set up on our platforms using our onboarding template. After that, you’ll join a Wednesday orientation with your team lead to review roles, expectations, and event flow. Once both steps are complete, you’ll be ready to contribute as a remote teammate.
