Opening duties may involve lifting or moving items weighing approximately 30–50 pounds. Volunteers who are unable to lift this amount are still welcome! Please communicate with our team so we can assign tasks that work for you.
This position involves walking and standing outdoors for much of the shift, so volunteers should dress appropriately for winter weather and wear comfortable footwear. No special experience is required. We’re looking for friendly, approachable volunteers who enjoy interacting with people and are excited to help guests have a wonderful market experience. Your job is simple: welcome people, help them find their way, and spread a little holiday spirit along the way!
