Each event consists of one 5 hour shift from 9:30 am - 2:30 pm. If that shift does not work for you, we are happy to accommodate with a half shift, just let us know! Any individual who is passionate about childhood education, families, crafts, and FUN should feel encouraged to volunteer. We welcome and appreciate people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities!
