Student U, Durham's 11-year educational pipeline for first-generation public school students from 6th grade through college graduation, is celebrating 20 years of investing in students, families, and the Durham community. We want staff to put down their clipboards, grab a plate, and enjoy this milestone alongside the alumni and community members who made it possible. That's where you come in.
Volunteer Shifts
Setup Crew | 9:30 to 10:30am (about 10 volunteers): Be the first there and help transform the space, tables, chairs, tents, food stations, and everything that makes a party feel like a party. Bonus: first dibs on the best spots before the crowds arrive. Requires lifting and carrying tables, chairs, and equipment, plus extended time on your feet.
Party Day Crew | 11am to 2pm (about 10 volunteers): Keep the energy going! We need friendly faces to run check-in, manage the bounce houses, and keep food and drink stations stocked. If you love people and a good party, this one's for you. Requires standing for extended periods, with some light lifting.
Breakdown Crew | 2:00 to 3:00pm (about 10 volunteers): Help us close things out and leave the Pearson Center better than we found it. Many hands make light work, and there will likely be leftover food with your name on it.
