Are you a morning person? An energetic go-getter?
(Even if you're not a morning person, there will be coffee on site :) )
We need your help with our Gaza 5K in DC!
We are looking for volunteers to help us with in-kind donation pick-ups, set up, registration, handing out t-shirts and bags, running the breakfast and water tables and on-site race day logistics. We ask that volunteers meet at the Anacostia Park Roller Skating Pavilion , unless otherwise specified about an in-kind donation pick-up.
It is great if you have your own mode of transportation that can be used for morning pick-ups!
The race begins at 8:00AM and volunteers need to arrive by 5:15 AM. Volunteers should expect to be there until 10:00 AM for participant wrap up and park clean-up.
Our staff is vibrant, supportive, and will be there to assist you with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have.
Thanks so much for your help on behalf of the UNRWA USA staff and others who support the mental health initiatives for the children of Gaza!
