Volunteers Wanted

We have many paid volunteer opportunities and incentives to take advantage of at the July 4th Tempe Town Lake Festival produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe. Every volunteer will receive a commemorative t-shirt, one meal ticket and 2 tickets to the event for family or friends. Volunteer hours will be recorded and donations will be made to the non-profit organization of your choice for the hours worked. Volunteer hours will be paid based on the following: 18 years old and up will receive $10/hour, and mature 13-17 year olds will receive $5/hour. It’s a great opportunity to raise money for local organizations.
