Volunteer on New Year’s Eve


    






There are 2,015 reasons to be a Highmark First Night Pittsburgh volunteer—free parking, an event button, a volunteer kit packed with surprises—but the only one you really need is this: It’s fun!

There are dozens of ways to help, from being an Activity Monitor, Usher, Button-Checker, even Photographers’ Assistants. Anyone can volunteer: families, school groups, individuals looking for an interesting way to ring in the new year, and age and ability are no obstacle. Volunteers can be grandparents and retirees or elementary-age children. “Sometimes kids [coming to Highmark First Night Pittsburgh] are a little leery of adults. But if you have a kid their own age volunteering, they’ll think, This is cool, there’s another kid here, can’t be too bad. I think it’s great for kids to volunteer because they’re giving of themselves—they’re learning to be helpful.”


Shifts for Highmark First Night Pittsburgh volunteers vary in length, usually only a few hours, and all shifts are over by 11:30 p.m. so you can watch the fireworks and toast 2015 when the clock strikes twelve. And with your free event button, you can get into all the Highmark First Night Pittsburgh events. Volunteer
