Looking for volunteers to work with us and TSCI at the 9th Annual Toledo Sister Cities International Festival at the Seagate Center in Downtown Toledo on Saturday, April 14. Volunteers will work in 2 hours shifts and can choose from a variety of options incl. assisting the stage crew, helping serve food, take tickets, assisting with the 50/50 raffle etc.
Most of the shifts are between 10:00AM through 8:00PM, but some preparation (incl. decorations and helping with set up) will start after 8AM.
You will meet a lot of people, learn about all the sister city connections of Toledo and other international programs and opportunities, enjoy some ethnic food, music, and dance before or after your shift. You can meet with a lot of community leaders who are visiting the festival and with some international guests.
