Calling all Volunteers!
Approximately 500 volunteers are needed to help make this New Year’s Celebration of the Arts and Community a great success. More than 50,000 people are expected in downtown Raleigh for the event and we invite you to join us!
The Benefits of Volunteering
As a volunteer, you will get a “behind the scenes” glimpse of First Night’s music and song, theater and comedy, stories and spectacles, all culminating in a countdown to midnight. For working one shift of at least 2.5 hours, you will receive a free admission button to all day and night events in 30+ venues across downtown Raleigh, plus a tee-shirt discount.
Businesses and organizations are encouraged to work together to accomplish their groups’ service needs while supporting the greater Raleigh community and having a great time in the process. |

FNR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer Job Descriptions
Site Manager - Manage the backstage area and supervise the set up and break down of a venue. As the “stage manager,” the site manager is also responsible for supervising the operation of the stage, which includes keeping the schedule on time and welcoming the performers. Some experience helps but is not necessary. Site managers are required to attend one pre-event meeting and make a 6-8 hour commitment on 12/31.
Children’s Activities Helper - “The Children’s Celebration” occurs from 2-6 pm on December 31st and is an event in itself. Helpers work before and during the Celebration to set up, usher and assist with the creative activities.
“The People’s Procession” Assistant - The Procession takes to the streets at 6 pm to mark the beginning of the Evening Program. Assistance is needed to organize and guide participants. Procession workers also play roles in Trigon, the dragon, march as “dots,” or carry parts of FACE in the parade.
“New Year’s Eve Around the World Assistant” - This special celebration occurs from 4 pm - 11:30 pm inside the Convention Center. Helpers work before and during the program to set up, usher and assist with activities.
Button Checker / Usher - Check buttons at a site entrance, aid in crowd control at a specific site, and be available to the public for general event information.
Audience Surveyor - Enjoy lots of public contact. You’ll pass out surveys, answer questions, and collect surveys at a specific site. Some surveyors interview attendees.

Production Moonlight Crew - See previous description. Help break down the event. Most of this work will occur from 10pm until 2am (with a break to go see the Midnight Ceremony). We would like a 3 hour commitment.
