**STRIVE Rocks 2020 is postponed. We hope to reschedule for the fall. We will continue to need volunteers once the event takes place!**
STRIVE is a South Portland based non-profit that supports over 1,000 tweens, teens and young adults throughout Maine with intellectual disabilities. STRIVE Rocks Weekend is our biggest fundraiser of the year. The event is broken into smaller events, STRIVE Rocks ALL DAY and STRIVE Rocks ALL NIGHT.
STRIVE Rocks ALL DAY- Saturday, May 2nd 10am-6pm: This portion of STRIVE Rocks is geared toward families and younger children. We have a number of bounce houses and inflatables, musical acts, performances, arts and crafts and demonstrations. Volunteers are needed during anytime of this portion of the event. The main activities we are asking for volunteers for are: set-up (7am-9ish), ticket sales/registration, performer check in, support at the "main stage" and around the arena, volunteers manning each inflatable/game and support with setting up/transition to STRIVE Rocks All Night.
STRIVE Rocks ALL NIGHT- Saturday May, 2nd, 8pm- Sunday, May 3rd, 8am: This portion of STRIVE Rocks is geared toward young adults (high school/college students, and our clients). Originally referred to as our dance marathon, participants stay on their feet for 12 hours straight, raising money for and awareness of our programs. The main activities we are asking for volunteers for are: registration (attendees, support staff), check in for performers, ushers, VIP lounge "bouncer," support at the "main stage," support setting up and serving donated food, manning inflatables/games, supporting appropriate relationships and interactions with those in attendance, and support with cleaning/taking down when the event is over (7-9amish).
*volunteers do not need to participate for the whole 8 or 12 hour shifts. Shorter shifts are welcome. We are looking for volunteers for any parts of the event listed above.
