2022 Volunteer Registration – Earth Day & Arbor Day Festival

Festival Description

Cupertino’s Earth Day & Arbor Day Festival is an interactive event that invites community members of all ages to learn about environmental issues and solutions in a family-friendly atmosphere. Consistently attracting over 5,000 attendees and about 100 partner organizations, the Earth Day & Arbor Day Festival features hands-on activities, live entertainment, and delicious food served by local food trucks.

The volunteers at Cupertino’s Earth Day & Arbor Day Festival are crucial members of the team and help to make the event possible through set up, registration assistance, waste management, hydration station management, Earth Day bike ride assistance, and much more! Your volunteering supports the City in holding a successful event that will engage community members in the diversity of programs and services that ensure Cupertino is healthy, sustainable, and resilient for generations to come.

Shifts

There will be two volunteer shifts for the event on April 23, 2022:

First Shift  8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Involves event set up, registration, and assisting with the Earth Day Community Bike Ride and ends just in time to enjoy the event!

Second Shift  12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Involves assisting with keeping the event running smoothly through waste management, assisting Tabling Partners, break down, and more.

You may reserve volunteer spots by registering one ticket per volunteer (e.g. if you would like to bring 10 volunteers for your group, you need only register once with a quantity of 10 tickets). Please try to be as accurate as possible when estimating how many volunteers you will have in your group. If you do not end up needing all of the tickets you originally registered for, please email [email protected] as soon as possible. If you sign up for the First Shift, please come to the First Shift. Our Second Shift spots are limited, and we can’t accept day-of changes.
