Volunteer SF -- Carnival Parade & Festival, SF
Details
Update:
We got contact from the Carnaval festival organizer that they are still recruiting volunteers, in passive mode though. So the way to do that now is to find a shift and register at the volunteer link, then press the "Contact Organizer" button, that will send an email to the organizer so they can come to approve your application.
The positions they are actively looking for are: Block Captains(4) and Entrance Greeters(5). Deadline is this weekend, so not to miss the online orientation next Tue..
Social Schedule:
- End of Shift group coffee on May 23rd (Sat.) 7pm
- Parade day social party on May 24th, check out its schedule at the Discover SF

------------------------------------
This is the volunteer track of Festival Social we have been organizing, in contrast to the DiscoverSF participant track. Yes, these two tracks will socialize together in the festival, in different ways.
The Carnival Festival is one of the three largest Festival & Parade in SF, besides Chinese New Year & Pride. It is recruiting volunteers now, both for the 2 days festival and the Sunday parade. Here is the link:

Benefits of the volunteering include lunch, T-shirt and festival insider experience, with said half a million attending this huge community event.
By our past festival volunteering experience, you get plenty of chances to interact with people, but often short and limited to your assigned station. You will be simply let go after your shift. Your chance to connect with other volunteers, or have deeper conversation, is quite limited.
We are fixing that, with two ways.
One is that we will setup a real time whatsapp channel for (volunteer) social, so you can chat with other volunteers and set up after shift coffee / meal debriefing social together. We welcome people to host this after shift social, you volunteered already any way :).
The other is that you are invited to attend the DiscoverSF community structured social in the event, as insiders guides to the festival. This would give you unique position to get noticed in the group. And if you are on duty the parade day, we can visit you on your shift along the parade route. So in addition to social with other volunteers, you get another chance to social a volunteer support group also. Double your chances.
If you need any help in social, let us know. We set up the separate social event to support our volunteers.
So if you are simply warm hearted to help acting as guides or assistants in the coming DiscoverSF -- Carnival social, you can signup here as well. And let us know if so.
The volunteer application deadline is May 8. We would then change the date to actual event date afterwards.
