Festivals and Parades
Join LCCC’s team of staff, students, faculty, and community members as we visit over 40 fun-packed events this summer. Our all-volunteer Festival Team staffs an information tent at local fairs and walks along with our parade float to help spread the word about educational opportunities available at Lorain County Community College.
Volunteers receive a FREE LCCC t-shirt and tons of appreciation. Helping is easy - our team members simply provide free information to festival visitors, usually working shifts that are about 2 hours long. No experience is necessary and you can help with one event or several; it's up to you!
Volunteering is Easy!
Check out this Volunteer Instruction Video to learn more about volunteer responsibilities and instructions.
All volunteers will be entered in monthly prize drawings throughout the season. Volunteers earn one entry for EVERY event they work. Those who register during FESTIVAL RALLY WEEK, APRIL 1-8 will also be eligible for daily prize drawings during Rally Week and a BONUS drawing at the end of the season.
