Are you passionate about spreading holiday cheer and helping others have a great experience? We have the perfect opportunity for you: become a Figlet at our biggest fundraising event of the year, The Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Competition!
What Is a Figlet?
Figlets are volunteers who act as a guide, liaison, and helper for the caroling teams! This role is ideal for folks with customer service experience, problem-solving skills, and a positive attitude.
Figlets work in pairs, sign up with a friend, or make a new one during the event!
Each pair will be assigned to 2–3 caroling teams within a specific zone of the Figgy Pudding event area.
