Volunteer with the Montgomery County Volunteer Center as an event team leader and support staff member to ensure a successful 2026 MLK Day of Service. We anticipate 1,500 volunteers will attend this event at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, where they will complete multiple service projects in 20-minute rotations.
We are seeking confident volunteers to support the smooth operation of the event throughout the day in an oversight capacity, including setup, event flow management, and cleanup. Team Leaders will hold a leadership role and may be assigned up to 6 event staff to manage throughout the event.
Team lead volunteers will be asked to arrive at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, January 19th, and stay until 5:00 p.m.
Team leader roles and tasks may include:
- Support event setup and coordination in a leadership capacity as assigned. Roles assigned may include project zone leaders, overseeing organization arrival management, managing organization check-in, overseeing the loading and unloading of project supplies, operations coordination, and event staff coordination.
- Work closely with Volunteer Center staff to ensure the successful execution of MLK Day of Service.
- Act as a main point of contact for resolving any challenges or concerns and escalating to Volunteer Center staff when necessary.
- Assist with post-event tasks, including event breakdown and clean up, including helping service project leaders load completed projects into vehicles, collecting signage, etc.
A virtual orientation session will be held for all event team leaders on Friday, January 16th, from 7 – 8 p.m.
