Opportunity Details

Tech Goes Home Summer Celebration

This festive and fun summer event is taking place on Saturday, July 27st at Moakley Park in Boston.

This is our third-ever Tech Goes Home Summer Celebration - it's fun for the whole family! Our Tech Goes Home community helps participants gain access to the skills, hardware, and access needed for 21st century success. 75% of our participants have household incomes under $20,000, and 45% have a primary language that is not English.

In prior years we have held a more formal graduation for students at Faneuil Hall. While nice, we received overwhelming feedback from graduates that they would prefer a family-friendly activity. Our 2017 Summer Celebration was a huge success and we are looking forward to an even bigger event in 2018. Our goal is to stay connected with graduates and encourage them to urge family and friends to sign up for free classes.

The event is from 10 AM to 12 PM (rain or shine!) and we are seeking volunteers for the 8 AM to 1:00 PM time period in two shifts. 

In addition to basic volunteer jobs (check-in table, set-up, clean-up, etc) here are some of the special opportunities:
  • Be Curious George!  We’re looking for someone to interact with families in our Curious George costume.  A perfect opportunity to let out your inner child!
  • Happy patrol/welcome wagon (generalist volunteers to welcome people and rove around doing basic troubleshooting.  This includes guiding people into the parking area)
  • Facepainters / facepainting line managers
  • Food team - we will be working with a large amount of donated fresh breakfast food, and it takes a big team to organize it for easy snacking
  • Game leaders (we are definitely leading a BINGO game by popular demand - no money involved! - but if we have enough interest, we could love to offer low-cost outdoor party games like a water balloon toss, three-legged race, etc)
  • Craft table for families.  We have a decorate-your-own-crown table which is a lot of fun for people.

MBTA Accessible: 10 minute walk from JFK/UMass (Red line)
