Brantford-Brant volunteers

Volunteers are an important part of the Brantford-Brant Children's Water Festival. They will help teach 500 Grade 4 students to respect and conserve our valuable water resources so they can become the water stewards of the future.

• We require 75 volunteers to staff activity centres daily. Each hands-on activity centre presents a different water-related message to students.
• All volunteers are provided with the materials and information needed to fulfill their roles.
• Volunteers are expected to make a one-day commitment from 8 a.m. to approximately 2:30 p.m. on their scheduled day. You may volunteer for more than one day if you wish.
• As a volunteer, your lunch and a festival t-shirt will be provided.
