Volunteer at First Night State College!

Volunteers are not paid – not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.”

– Shirley Temple Black

Want to be part of the magic that makes First Night State College happen? Join our amazing team of volunteers and help bring this beloved community celebration to life!

There are plenty of ways to get involved—whether you like to meet people, bake, organize, or lend a hand behind the scenes. We rely on volunteers to:

  • Guide visitors to First Night venues from our Information Booths

  • Bake cookies to share with guests at the Warm-Up Station

  • Staff the Warm-Up Station in the Woskob Family Gallery

  • Sell First Night buttons and merchandise

  • Lead children’s craft workshops

  • Assist behind the scenes in the days leading up to First Night

  • Help in the First Night office during the week of the event

Volunteering is a wonderful way to meet new people, give back to your community, and be part of a joyful downtown tradition that welcomes the New Year with creativity and celebration!
