Be My Neighbor Day with Daniel Tiger

Be My Neighbor Day is inspired by Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, a beloved PBS KIDS series. The focus of these events, aimed at children ages 0-5 and their families, is to promote family engagement in communities while supporting diversity, equity and inclusion. Be My Neighbor Day is organized in partnership with Fred Rogers Productions and PNC Bank.

During Be My Neighbor Days, community agencies that serve young children and families join us to raise awareness about local resources. Children have the opportunity to meet Daniel Tiger and receive a bag containing a book about community helpers and PBS Kids literacy resources. PBS Western Reserve hosts a "Thank Our Essential Neighbors" coloring station where children color thank-you pages for delivery to essential workers, a dress-up play area and a read-aloud. Children will have the opportunity to receive a free haircut and show kindness by packing a hygiene bag to donate to those in need. There will also be a balloon artist, a DJ and face painting.

Types of volunteer tasks: help with set-up and tear down, help with meet and greet line control, picture taking with mascots, handing out gift bags, overseeing the coloring station, overseeing the dress-up play area, collecting raffle basket tickets, manning our membership table, etc.

Shifts available:

• 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Full shift)
• 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (First half of the event)
• 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM (Second half of the event)

If these shifts do not work for you but you are interested in volunteering, please let us know, and we would be happy to accommodate.
