2nd Annual Night to Shine

We are so excited to be an official host church for this year’s Night to Shine, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. Night to Shine is an unforgettable worldwide celebration event, centered on God's love, honoring and valuing people with special needs. On one night, hundreds of churches of different denominations from all over the world will come together to celebrate people with special needs!

We need several volunteers for a multitude of jobs and assignments for this fabulous event!

VOLUNTEER ROLES:

-BUDDY TEAM Accompany and assist assigned guest throughout the evening, providing companionship and any assistance they may need during the event. Sit with their guest during dinner, dance with them and participate in activities with them. We recommend volunteer buddies be at least 16 years old. For additional important details and best practices for buddies

-COAT CHECK TEAM Greet guests, take their coats, label them, and hang them. As guests leave, ask for their names and retrieve their coats. The coat check area can also serve as a lost and found at the end of the evening.

- FLOATER TEAM Constantly “float” around the main event /dance floor space, kitchen, restrooms and outdoors to assist anywhere an extra hand is needed. Ensure guests can move about easily in the main event/dance floor space, seats are available should they need to rest and water stations are continuously stocked. Floaters should also be trained and prepared to serve as a buddy should additional buddies be needed at the last minute.

-FOOD SERVICE TEAM (Volunteer dinner etc.) Serve food to guests in main event space and Respite Room (for parents, caretakers or family members). Be knowledgeable about the items and assist guests in finding what they would like (especially if they have dietary restrictions or allergies) and refill food warmers, drinks and snacks. If possible, consider having two teams – one for honored guests and one for the Respite Room.

- GIFT TAKEAWAY TEAM Manage gifts and help each guest collect their favors to take home.

-GUEST REGISTRATION TEAM Warmly greet guests, sign them in, give them their name tag or lanyard, and answer any questions they may have. Help guests connect with their assigned buddy for the evening.

- MEDICAL TEAM Assist professional EMT (ALREADY PROVIDED) personnel at the event by providing basic first aid and care for any medical needs or emergencies (Nurses)

-PAPARAZZI TEAM Take photographs and treat honored guests like celebrities and VIPs as they arrive on the red carpet.

-PARKING TEAM Maintain a parking pattern and direct traffic for easy vehicle entry and exit. Maintain open fire and emergency lanes.

-RED CARPET TEAM Assist and announce guests as they make their way down the red carpet, manage flow of traffic and cheer them on to make them feel welcomed.
