Dearborn Homecoming -Volunteers Needed

Posted on

Volunteers Needed!

CALL TO ACTION: We NEED your HELP! We have a couple of big events during homecoming that we need help with! We can’t do it alone! Click the links for details.

Homecoming Bike Parking: Sign up for a shift or two on August 1-3. Share this post with your friends, bike groups, and volunteer groups. We need your help to man our shift all 3 days of homecoming. You’ll receive people’s bikes, secure them in the gates, and return proper bikes to people as they return. We would like 3 people per shift…more for the closing shifts after the fireworks, as it is crazy (but super fun!!) when everyone picks up at once at the end of the night. Click the link for more details and to sign up for shifts that match your availability!

Homecoming Bike Ride: Saturday, August 2, is our family bike ride with the mayor. We need volunteers to help out. Experienced ride support, SAG truck driver, photographer, and registration table. It’s very much appreciated. Click the link for sign up and details about each available position.
