Summer Excitement Awaits – The Volunteer Drive is On!

What will you be doing this summer for fun?

Imagine being in the center of the action as hundreds of thousands of guests from all over the Pacific Northwest and even the world attend Tall Ships® Tacoma 2008.  You’ll be there showing your pride in Tacoma and the South Sound and serving as an ambassador of good will to ensure these guests have a joyful, unforgettable experience.
 
There are literally hundreds of volunteer positions to fill so you’re sure to find something that is both fun and rewarding.  And, you’ll be in good company as you work alongside thousands of your South Sound neighbors and the crews from 32 amazing sailing vessels.  Then, when it’s all over, you’ll be invited to join your fellow volunteers for a huge party to thank you for your efforts and celebrate your success!
 
So why not lend your hand and help us set up the tents, supervise activities for kids, provide  hospitality to visiting crews, manage vessel logistics, facilitate communication and much much more. If you have a boat or sailing experience, even better!
 
Every volunteer also receives an exclusive Tall Ships Tacoma 2008 shirt, baseball cap, water bottle, volunteer handbook and fanny pack.
 
To volunteer, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be at least 16 years old (parent or guardian permission required for volunteers age 16 and 17)
- Have your own transportation to and from the festival
- Work a minimum of two five-hour shifts
- Attend volunteer training
- Be willing to have FUN
