Seattle Center Foundation (SCF) is expanding its community outreach efforts with an increased presence at Seattle Center events. Starting with Northwest Folklife in May and continuing throughout Bumbershoot over Labor Day weekend, SCF needs volunteers to staff its outreach booths. Volunteers will interact with the public, describe the many benefits of becoming a Friend of Seattle Center (for which there is absolutely no cost – this is not a sales position) and chat about the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the Seattle World’s Fair.
Volunteers will receive free admission to all events they are staffing, as well as refreshments and assorted promotional items (such as t-shirts). If you would like to join the Friends of Seattle Center Community Outreach Team, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Cathy Sander at 206.684.0299 or csander(at)seattlecenter.org.

Would you like to get involved with the Seattle Center’s celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the World’s Fair held here in 1962? If so, we’ve opened a special World’s Fair Gallery inside the Center House to commemorate this important event…and we need your help!
We need volunteers who can spend at least 5 hours per week in our new World’s Fair Gallery interacting with visitors, talking about the Fair and performing light retail tasks. There will be interactive exhibits, a small selection of merchandise for sale and many photographic displays documenting this historic event. We opened the Gallery on April 21, 2010 and will keep it open through the celebration in 2012. If you are interested in joining the team, please email Cathy Sander, Volunteer Coordinator at csander(at)seattlecenter.org or download the volunteer form (pdf).
In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, Seattle Center Foundation created an online, interactive database that will gather and share people’s recollections of this important event in Seattle’s history. Volunteers are needed to help process, organize and publish the submissions to a special website. IT skills are a definite plus, but we also need enthusiastic and creative volunteers who can select and present these recollections in engaging and informative ways. If you are interested in joining the team, please email Cathy Sander, Volunteer Coordinator at csander(at)seattlecenter.org.
Seattle Center Foundation seeks highly motivated individuals to lead teams of volunteers in a variety of projects. Lead volunteers must be able to commit to at least 6 months of service and be willing to assume a leadership role among their peers. Lead volunteers will become an integral part of the organization and may be asked to occasionally attend staff meetings and participate in other management tasks, as needed. Lead volunteers may also receive additional benefits such as tickets to Seattle Center events, when available. If you are interested in joining the team, please email Cathy Sander, Volunteer Coordinator at csander(at)seattlecenter.org.
