EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Family Fun Day is an annual event run by the Center for Families. Our Summer Family Fun Day is an outdoor event (located inside the Peabody School gym if the weather is bad) for families living in Cambridge with children birth-8 years old. We have moon bounces, face painting, arts and crafts, a performer, infant area, bubbles, water play, toddler obstacle course, and more! We also provide a light lunch for families. The event is free for all families.

WHAT WE'LL BE DOING:

Volunteers can choose different stations to help a staff member run. Volunteers can choose based on their interests.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

We generally have around 350 people attend this event. Volunteers should be comfortable interacting with young children and their families. The event is outside, so plan to bring a water bottle and a hat. We will provide breaks for volunteers to refill water and take a break from the sun when needed. There is limited shade, but some is provided via tents. We also provide volunteers with a light breakfast and lunch! We will also provide volunteers with a t-shirt to wear.

You must be 21+ to volunteer with One Brick Boston.

Please note
While this event is wheelchair accessible, it will be held outside, rain or shine, and is located in a field with rough terrain.

WHERE TO MEET:

This event is located on Rindge Field in Cambridge, MA. Rindge Field is located behind the Peabody School (70 Rindge Ave. Cambridge). Volunteers can sign-in by entering the Peabody School through the back of the building through door #10. The nearest MBTA stop is the Porter Square station on the Red Line. The Event Manager will provide more details about the meeting location.
