Volunteer Roles That Make the Magic Happen
Our Halloween extravaganza wouldn’t be possible without a crew of spirited volunteers! Choose from frightfully fun roles like Trick-or-Treat Guides (help kids find the best candy haunts), Decor Wizards (transform Cortland Ave into a spooky spectacle), Safety Ghouls (keep everyone safe and smiling), and Activity Hosts (run games that make little monsters giggle).
Every role is a chance to spread joy, laughter, and a little bit of harmless mischief! Whether you’re a costume connoisseur or a behind-the-scenes hero, your help ensures a safe, spectacular night for all. Sign up, bring your best Halloween energy, and let’s make this the most memorable Halloween Bernal Heights has ever seen!
