Stems and Steins Event Set-Up and Décor: Love working outdoors and getting extra steps on your fitness tracker? We need volunteers to assist with event set-up, which includes: setting up and putting décor on tables, and setting up chairs, canopies, trash bins, and other outdoor items. This work is done completely outdoors, and requires the ability to work with a team to complete moderate to high physically demanding tasks. All age groups are welcome. Students who need service hours are welcome.
