General Silver Dollar City Talk / Silver Dollar City - Non Profit Volunteers
« on: October 19, 2015, 10:36:56 AM »
I've been a stranger here over the past few months, but...
I wondered if anyone has ever volunteers as part of a mom-profit group to work at the park? It is an opportunity available for in food service where you will work alongside Silver Dollar City employees serving and plating food, cleaning, and bussing tables.
Recently I looked into the program for our school group and this weekend received the dates on which the park is using volunteers in positions. Hopefully we will be able to make it all work, with a small group, and the times are during the holiday season, so volunteers were at a minimum for us, but I hope to do this to both help raise money for our school group, but also to be a bigger part of the SDC for, if only a day. The $8 hr money goes directly to our organization.
As a 34+ year / lifelong guest of the park, the "expert" for the roller coaster show last year, and a former art/ now a history teacher, I have always wanted to work at SDC for at least a day. Granted I know more than many that work at the park about the history of the area, and formation of the park, it is not above me to make someone's experience better through fulfilling their basic needs while at the park. I will take whatever I can get! Though this is not the only time I plan on ever working at the park, this is enough to check it off of my bucket list for "working" at SDC that has been a goal for me since I was a child (I have sat and made baskets that were sold while the Basketmaker Bob warmed his hands on a cold day, been an honorary Brown's candy maker for a day, been in several street performances...but nothing that allowed me to wear an SDC nametag!)
If we are accepted, and all is a go, I'll be sire to let you guys know to come and see me and put me to work!
