Opportunity Details

MLK MS Harvest Festival

CIS of Richmond works within the public school system, determining student needs and establishing relationships with local businesses, social service agencies, health care providers and parent and volunteer organizations to provide needed resources.

On this day, CIS will host a Harvest Festival to welcome students, families and community members into the newly built MLK Middle School. Events like this are intended to promote parental engagement and be welcoming to neighbors. Festival attendees will have the opportunity to participate in various craft projects that will support the school and the larger region. Volunteers will help with the festival events: food, games, registration, as well as assist the students in completing the projects.

Volunteers will:
  • Assist with event set-up, clean up, greeting, parking, registration
  • Serve food, lead activities like face painting, pumpkin carving, kit packing, art projects, and interactive games
  • Assist students with completing the craft projects to support the school and beyond
Volunteers should park in the lot behind the school off of Mosby Street and then proceed to the main office for check-in. All activities will be outdoors on the field located at the rear of the school. Therefore, volunteers should wear clothing appropriate for the weather. The festival will be moved indoors if it rains. This project will still occur if there is rain. The rain plan will differ somewhat fromt he original tasks.

All volunteers who plan to attend must be registered, either as an individual, or via the team functionality. This includes youth. If a project requires an adult to be present, youth MUST register as a part of a team. To learn more about our Team Functionality, please view our Volunteer with a Group page.

If allowed on the project, any youth volunteers under the age of 18 must bring a parent-signed youth waiver to the project.
The waiver can be found after sign up on the confirmation page or by visiting our Volunteer with Youth page.
