Volunteers
First Night would not be possible without the help of all our wonderful and dedicated volunteers. Last year approximately 260 men and women assisted in overseeing our many performance venues, answering questions, and ensuring that over 10,000 revelers rang in the New Year in a fun and safe manner. This year our goal is the same, and it’s never too early to get everyone thinking about this fun-filled evening!
Many of our volunteers come back year after year because they have such a great time and love meeting so many new and interesting people.
We are again seeking volunteers this year to serve as hosts and hostesses in one of over 30 venues, for a chosen 3-hour shift between the hours of 6 PM and 11:40 PM. New volunteers are required to attend a one hour training session on one evening in December.
All volunteers receive a free First Night Saratoga admission button, a First Night poster and a gourmet snack provided by a local caterer.
Get the jump early this year, especially if you have a favorite venue in which you would like to be considered for placement! If you would like to volunteer or have questions, please call Volunteer Coordinator Maria Panayotou at (518) 496-1327, or email her at mpanayotou@saratoga-arts.org.
Here are our great volunteers getting the First Night buttons and button cards ready for distribution:
