Volunteer to Support the Juneteenth Celebration at Civic Plaza

Event Set Up Volunteers Needed

The City of Albuquerque will be hosting Juneteenth 2021 at Civic Plaza and we need a lot of support to make it a success. This event will be held on June 18th, 19th, and 20th and we have several shifts each day.

About the opportunity:

Set up volunteers will need to prepare the space for the evening's festivities. We will have tables for organizations, artists, and vendors to set up on civic plaza, activities to prepare, and spaces to beautify. 

This is one of our more physically demanding volunteer positions during the celebration weekend and volunteers are needed for tasks that require standing and walking for long periods of time. Volunteers may also be needed to lift/manipulate heavy objects and carry/transport heavy objects. Volunteers may be exposed to sunlight and weather for longer periods of time as well.

While many roles during set up may be physically demanding, we encourage all volunteers who are interested to register. If you have different abilities you would prefer to use to support this work, please leave us a note when you register to let us know if there is any work that you would rather not do or would need support or accommodations to accomplish.
