Call for Volunteers: High School, ASU Campus, Community Colleges

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Trunk Space is looking for volunteers:

Specifically: students attending local high schools (Scottsdale, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler, Tempe, N. Phoenix, ect) as well as the area Community Colleges (all over), and all ASU Campuses.

We need people who will distribute flyers/posters for our events, and let the students know about what we do; work with your school’s Art/Music/Performance/Social Service Clubs to set up fundraisers and other happenings.

Those interested need to be reliable, check their email daily, be able/willing to come to Phoenix sometimes, and willing to learn about the local music and art community.

Volunteers get to come to shows for free, set up their own events, and learn how to organize art & music shows.

If you’re interested, write us at this address:
thetrunkspace@yahoo.com
(Please put the name of the school you attend in the subject line)
