 Volunteer Jobs
 

Set-up (Mainly Wednesday)

Tables, chairs, tiki torches, and firewood at Bolsa Chica beach.  Set up tables and chairs in the hotel garden and at the CSULB studios for breakfasts and lunches.  Anyone with a truck is especially appreciated.

Tear-down (Sunday and Monday)

Undo what we did on Wednesday.

Airport Pick-ups and Returns (Wednesday, Sunday, and Monday)

Over 350 people will be flying in and need to be picked up from LAX, OC (SNA), or LGB airport.  Susan Loo is transportation supervisor and will be preparing a detailed schedule.  We will need people to drive our five rented
15-passenger vans and also a few people with their own vans (vehicle expense reimbursement applies).

Daily Transportation

Three or four 15-passenger vans that will need to make regular runs between the hotel and the campus and also provide transportation for the directors and VIPs to special meetings and events.  Anyone who wants to hob-knob with ballet directors and master teachers will like this job.

Meals

We’re hosting 600 people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for three and half days.  This is the area that we need the most people to help.  Young dancers need to eat healthily and they’ll be hungry after dancing all day.  We’re doing them a big favor by providing healthy meals.  Volunteer shifts will be 4-hours.  Pick your time of day.

Hospitality

Throughout the festival, we need lots of smiling volunteers to greet, register, and guide our guests.  This will be a first visit to Long Beach for a majority of the participants and we want them to remember it fondly.  We also need dressing room and theater monitors at the Carpenter Center (CSULB).

Decorations

Assist in the creation of decorations and centerpieces for the three different themed dinners:  Mexican, Chinese, and “Oscars Night.”  There will be room decorations plus centerpieces for 60 round tables as well as the food tables. 

Security

Patrol the hotel all night and the studios during the day to keep our precious young dancers comfortably safe.
