JOB DESCRIPTIONS:
Characters - Do you have a theatrical streak? Are you a Halloween enthusiast? You might have what it takes to be one of our Halloween characters that delight and educate visitors. All costumes, props and scripts will be provided. Costumed characters should be people who enjoy Halloween and will really "get into" their role. You do not have to memorize the script. Each station is based on a theme with key talking points and sample dialogue. Ad-lib comments which fit with the mood of the station, and have fun!
Mascots - Kids love the Nature Center mascots, Walker the Woodpecker and Myrtle the Turtle. They love having their picture taken with them, too. We need volunteers to wear these adorable head-to-toe, furry costumes. Mascots need excellent people skills and should be able to animate their character without talking.
Mascot Escort - We need volunteers to help the mascots get into costume and escort them around the event. This job requires standing and walking.
Breakdown- Help clean up the event at the end of the night. Many hands make for light work.For more information, contact Ha Brock, Volunteer Reston Manager, at habrock@reston.org or 703-435-7986. Volunteers must be pre-registered to help with this event.
