Welcome Ferndale Pride Volunteers!
Our event cannot happen without your help. You help us set up, keep the event running smoothly, and clean up after to keep Ferndale beautiful.
Sign up with us to meet new people and learn about Ferndale and the Greater LGBTQAI Community. Or, sign up with a group of friends and create your own Super Volunteer Team!
Almost every shift is two hours. Pick and work as many shifts as you like!
Deadline:
May 31, 2025
Thank you for volunteering for Hugs for Ferndale Pride! You provide the most human service of all: validation through physical, compassionate touch.
All Hugs Volunteers are required to wear the provided Hugs T-shirt.
Masks are provided.
Our non-gendered, non-binary t-shirts say, “Hugs, We Care,” on the front and, “You Matter,” on the back.
This year's color is blue representing magic and art.
T-Shirts provided by Jim Schaffer & Associates.
You may wander throughout the Pride or may be assigned an area that needs coverage.
Be aware that not everyone may want a hug. Some people may prefer a handshake, elbow bump, high five or just need a listening ear. The only exception to this is if someone is acting in a way that is making you uncomfortable. Then direct them to our tent.
If protestors or other negative or unsupportive signs and behaviors are present, please report it to the Hugs or Volunteer Check-In booths. Unfortunately, protest and dissent is something the community has always had to deal with. It is important that we are able to help.
If someone is acting in a way that is making you uncomfortable, direct them to our tent.
