2025 VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

🌞 FESTIVAL VOLUNTEER OPPS

 Be a part of the magic during the 3 day festival at Alameda Park. Most people don't know this but the festival is a large part of what allows the Parade and Workshop to occur in Santa Barbara. Come out and support the Summer Solistce Celebration 501c3 by donating your time to help in the park. Shifts include beer pouring and serving, selling merch, providing information, helping with setup or tear down and being extra monitors.

YOUTH & YOUNG ADULTS

Young adults may receive community volunteer hours, but will have to furnish the form to the volunteer coordinator.  Some volunteer positions reduce the parade and workshop registration fee.  We have a few full scholarships for these positions, but this requires you to work on projects assigned to you, not your own project.   If you wish to volunteer, and are 18 years or younger,  you can submit this form (requires signature of guardian).
