Walk to the Lighthouse
Walk to the Lighthouse September 21, 2025 at the JBH parking lot. We have many volunteer opportunities for students:
1. Flyer Distribution – beginning in August, we need flyers brought to businesses to let them know about the walk and ask if they could put a flyer up to advertise the event to the community or their staff (in staffroom). We will attempt to assign areas that are convenient for you.
2. Community Events – We have several community events over the summer (ex: Ribfest, Food Truck Festival) where we need help to staff our Walk to the Lighthouse table to sell merchandise and promote the walk.
2. Promoting Walk at your school – We want volunteers to find creative ways to encourage participation – announcements, TikTok, friendly rivalry with other schools, competitions to put teams together to raise the most money or put together the largest walking team. We want to see schools out on the day of the walk in their spirit wear representing their school.
3. Promoting Walk through your organized sports/activities – We want hockey teams, soccer teams, dance clubs, theatre groups to come out on the day of the walk and represent their organization. We need students to bring this event to their teams and activities in the community to promote the Walk.
4. Day of the Walk – We need volunteers to line the walk route, hold signs and encourage walkers. They will also be on alert for any problems along the course and alert an organizer if there is an issue that needs attention.
5. Day of the Walk – We need volunteers in various areas to help set up and ensure the event runs smoothly (refreshment area, turn around point, parking lot, information table, Kid Zone etc.…).
6. Day of the Walk – We will need help with set up of tables, chairs, tents before event (8am-12pm) and/or the tear down after the event ends (3:30-5pm). Volunteers can stay for the whole event or commit to set up or clean up.
Volunteer hours will be given for any of the above. We will sign off on your forms required for hours.
