First Night is a family friendly community event held in the Theater District of Tacoma. Patrons purchase buttons to get into several spaces for music, visual art, poetry, etc. There are also several free events outdoors and in some participating venues. We need volunteers to help guide all these patrons into the New Year.
Volunteer shifts vary from volunteer check in to door greeters, to set up and clean up. There are several shifts and we are looking to fill 70+ positions. We would love to have groups of volunteers for set up and clean up.
Come help our community with this amazing event. What better way to start your 2020 year than being philanthropic with your time.
