Be on the front line delivering smiles and inspiration to children in need! We are in need of volunteers to staff events when Tickets for Kids is providing tickets. The schedules are flexible - no weekly/monthly commitment required. You will get emails listing volunteer event opportunities and you simply choose those that work for you. This role is critical to the efficient and effective operations of Tickets for Kids in the community. The Venue Event Coordinator is critical to the success of Tickets for Kids and such an important part of what we do. You are the face of Tickets for Kids at our partner venues, including the Target Center, Science Museum, Xcel Center, Children's Theatre, Twins games, and more. In this role you will facilitate the distribution of donated tickets to children in need and their chaperones. By being at an event it gives us the opportunity to showcase what Tickets for Kids is all about and take event attendance. You will receive materials on the organizations mission and orientation about the logistics of working at an event and distributing tickets. Volunteer opportunities are at cultural and sporting events at venues in the Twin Cities such as the Children's Theater, SteppingStone Theatre, Twins Baseball, MN United soccer, and many more. We ask you to commit to one event at a time. Volunteers arrive 60-75 minutes before the event, depending on venue, to set up and distribute tickets. The volunteer will remain at the booth or table until 30 minutes after the event begins. Upon completion of the event, the volunteer is asked to submit a brief report of the attendance and any problems experienced at the event. Benefits include being a part of exposing children to cultural and sporting events to which they would otherwise not be exposed. Each volunteer opportunity provides the volunteer with tickets to attend the event, as well. By signing up as a Venue Event Coordinator, you do not make any specific commitments. As events come in that require a volunteer, you will be notified by email and given the opportunity to volunteer for that specific event. If you can't make it, you can simply wait for the next event.

Mission Statement

Tickets for Kids Charities (TFK) is dedicated to enriching the lives of low-income and at-risk children and their families by including them in a variety of activities and events that are a source of enlightenment, education and inspiration. By facilitating equitable access to the world of ideas, accomplishment, creativity and culture, TFK contributes to the growth and well-being of the children and families served and the community at large.

Description

Established in Pittsburgh in 1994, the inspiration for Tickets for Kids(r) Charities came to founder Susan Weiner during a ballgame. The empty seats in the auditorium seemed so wasteful, and so unnecessary. Couldn’t those seats be filled by in-need kids?

A nearly identical idea occurred in 2000 to Robb Neuenschwander, Twin Cities resident and avid University of Minnesota Gopher basketball fan. Frustrated that so many game seats went unused, Robb founded Tix for Tots to fill those seats with kids and mentors who could use them.

Recognizing their shared vision and nearly identical missions, Tix for Tots was merged into Tickets for Kids in 2016. Through partnerships with approved and vetted social service agencies serving disadvantaged children and families, TFK has distributed more than 2.6 million tickets valued in excess of $51.3 million to experiences in the areas of arts & culture, education & STEM, sports & recreation, and family entertainment. In 2016 alone, TFK distributed more than 160,000 tickets valued at over $5 million, and partnered with social service agencies in 41 states.
