Volunteers are needed to accomplish the many tasks of the fair: preparing for the fair on planning and pre-fair committees. On the day of the fair we need volunteers for setting up the activities, cleaning up, and working with the children and adults in the activity tents during the fair. No special skills are required of the volunteers. Only desire to learn and to help make the Benton Harbor Children's Art Fair a learning and enjoyable experience for all who participate.

Many volunteers are needed on the day of the fair in various capacities. The volunteer shifts during the day of the fair are scheduled in 3-hour shifts so that they may participate for a little time or more time.
