VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The Downtown Dayton Partnership is frequently in search of great volunteers to help us put on fun events like the Dayton Holiday Festival, Art in the City, and more.
We also occasionally help recruit volunteers for big downtown festivals and events put on by other organizations.
