Be a Buddy to a 1 Voice Child (or two) at the Children's Parade and earn 6 hours of volunteer time!  This will be their first time attending since COVID so it's going to be a blast!!!!

Every year, YMKN hosts 15-20 children  from 1Voice on our float for the Children's Parade.  Only the children attend (not the parents) so we need volunteers to buddy up with a child for the day.  Your job as their buddy is pretty simple...

• Staging - Meet them in staging around 2pm and keep them entertained until the parade starts.   Some volunteers provide pirate-y stuff or a special bead necklace to their assigned child, but that's up to you.
• • If you want, you can park at the Aquarium for free and ride with the kids on the bus to staging  for free (bus is scheduled for 1pm).  Please purchase a free bus pass on the web store just so we can keep a count of seats taken.
  • 1Voice will provide a boxed lunch for all children and volunteers to be consumed in the staging area.
• During the Parade - Once the parade starts, you just need to hang with them on the float while they go crazy throwing beads and having the time of their lives! 
• After the Parade - All you have to do is make sure they get to the 1Voice/YMKN bus.  Volunteers are invited to ride the bus back to the Aquarium and join the 1Voice families for dinner.
