There are still spots available for volunteers to help staff the City’s annual Santa’s Village at Huffhines Park, this year scheduled for Dec. 7-8, 13-15 and 20-22. Volunteers assist with activities in the dwellings, serve as greeters and interact with guests. Shifts vary based on day but average 3.5 hours each, from 5:30-9 p.m. (beginning a half hour before the Village opens).  

Over the duration of Santa’s Village, the City traditionally relies on more than 100 volunteers per night who contribute more than 4,000 hours.  

All volunteers must be 16 years of age or older and must sign up in advance.
