CALLING ALL SCALLYWAGS
We are always looking for brave souls to assist us at the Boynton Beach Haunted Pirate Fest and Mermaid Splash!

AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES
-Kids Zones: Volunteers will assist with the unique and interactive activities that are offered in one of two kids zones at the event. Responsibilities will include line management, ticket distribution, booth helper, and replenishing supplies. Volunteers will be in some sun and do some standing - but they are sure to have lots of fun!
