{events} 2012 Green Festival Chicago

One of my favorite events the past couple of years has been the Green Festival.

This year it is taking place in Chicago, May 5th and 6th at Navy Pier.

There are also dates scheduled for New York in April, Washington D.C in September and San Francisco and LA in November, so if you live in either one of those cities, make sure you check out the Green Festivals website to get more information.

If you are wondering about some of the things you can expect to see and participate in at a Green Festival, check out my previous recap.

As you can see, it is fun and full of great green and sustainable products, from food to fashion.

There are also workshops, entertainment, demonstrations, a green marketplace and interactive fun for kids and adults.

I am a member of the Host Committee and part of the media team, so you will see posts here on my blog and tweets about the upcoming events.

One of the cool things about an event like this, is that everyone can be a part of it by volunteering.

Volunteering opportunities are available in a host of different areas, from street team to box office to bike valet and everything in between.

There is truly something for everyone. Oh and the kids can come along and volunteer as well for those of you who have kids 10 and up.

And of course groups are welcome as well, so if you have a bunch of folks who like to give a little back, this would be a good time to put in a few hours for a good cause while having fun with your crew.

Check out the PDF of Job Descriptions for specific volunteer jobs information.

BONUS: When you volunteer, you get free access to the show the entire weekend and more great benefits (check them out here)!

There is a lot that goes into making this a successful event, so volunteers are needed starting NOW, and we would love to have you on board.

Please leave me a comment or tweet me any questions that you may have.
