Volunteer Opportunity: Step Right Up! Volunteer Carnival

An invitation has been extended to anyone who would be interested in participating in United Way’s Step Right Up! volunteer carnival. Volunteers MAY get class credit for this event if needed and this event is wonderful because volunteers get exposure to several nonprofit organizations in the community and can bring spouses, children, and friends, as this is a free community wide event. Please read the information below and if you are interested in participating, please contact Carole letting her know what job you're interested in volunteering for at carole.becker@knights.ucf.edu.
