The Parade Company is also looking for volunteers to fill a wide variety of roles for our fabulous events, such as the Ford Fireworks and Hob Nobble Gobble presented by Ford. Whatever you are looking to do we can use your help. Every volunteer receives appropriate training, makes long-lasting friendships, receives rewards for hours worked, and has the opportunity to create smiles for many!
To volunteer, please complete our General Volunteer Application. Once you do so you will be put into the volunteer database and begin to receive the bi-monthly volunteer newsletter and upcoming volunteer opportunities including Art Studio help and many other great events! The minimum age to Volunteer is 16 years old. Volunteers aged 16 + 17 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
