Volunteer at a Bazaar!

We’d like to invite all BASE students to consider volunteering at the Cultural Survival Bazaars! These vibrant annual events depend on volunteers to make everything run smoothly.

Volunteer tasks may include greeting visitors and answering questions, handing out flyers, helping with setup, supporting Indigenous artists at their booths, assisting at Cultural Survival’s booth, and more. BASE students who speak Spanish may also have the chance to help Spanish-speaking visitors during the event.

Volunteering is a great opportunity to spend time with Indigenous artists, learn about different Indigenous cultures, and enjoy a festive community atmosphere. A minimum commitment of 5 hours is required. If you volunteer for more than 5 hours, a meal will be provided.

We hope you’ll join us!
