Volunteers needed at Tri-Main Indoor Street Fair on March 12, 2016

To help celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Tri-Main Center, an “Indoor Street Fair” will be held on March 12th from 11:00-4:00pm. It will be a family friendly indoor street fair, and is in partnership with Aspire (all proceeds raised will go to Aspire).

Many volunteers are needed - especially to run the games.

For students who need creativity hours, you can design a putt-putt station for the event. Should you need a head start on building materials…. Tri-Main has wooden pallets available.

Also for creativity hours, there is a Face Painting station, Corn Hole Competition (companies/schools can donate a set/decorate it), and Balloon Animals station.

Additionally, there will be a Tricycle Obstacle Course, Hockey Shot Contest, Make & Race Hover Board, “Chalk Alley” (A string of sidewalk chalk portraits…on an entire floor!), and 25th Anniversary Community Mural (paint by numbers)

Students can sign up for a shift or for the entire day:

The shifts are: 11:00am-1:30pm and 1:30-4:00pm

If you would like to volunteer, email Jessica Edwards at: jedwards@trimaincenter.com

Volunteers must be spirited, animated, charming, and willing to dance, sing, laugh, and have fun. Additionally, any student volunteer must be comfortable addressing influential leaders from local corporate, political, and educational organizations. This includes both verbal and nonverbal communication, such as smiling, looking them in the eye, and offering an enthusiastic greeting and a handshake.

Volunteers must be available from 7:30 am - 1:00 pm at The Tralf, next to Shea's on Main St in downtown Buffalo. Students must have their own transportation to and from the event. Carpooling is strongly encouraged. More info about the event can be found here: https://www.generationalleadershipbydesign.com/live-2-lead-.html

Microsoft COO, Kevin Turner and authors Valorie Burton and Patrick Lencioni will round out this live broadcast. Breakfast and a mid morning snack will be provided, as well as a John Maxwell Team shirt which must be worn throughout the day. Students will be asked to stand at multiple stations to greet attendees, hand out registration packets, guide registrants to the broadcast area, and maintain a high energy environment.

Certificates of completion of the Live 2 Lead Advanced Leadership Training Program with volunteer hours will be provided by The John Maxwell Team and The University of Georgia (the university that organized the broadcast).
