Help Us

VOLUNTEER

We need your help! To efficiently and safely execute an event as ambitious as the Dorchester Beach Festival the committee needs a large number of volunteers. We need folks to assist with the event set-up, break-down, event-day activities, etc. Please volunteer your time, even an hour or two is greatly appreciated and needed. Email your name, phone #, email address and availability along with how you would like to help to volunteer@dorchesterbeachfestival.com. This is a perfect opportunity for students to earn community service credits or for a youth or church-group to contribute to their community.

The Friends of Savin Shores and the Beautification Committee of the Columbia Savin Hill Civic Association wholeheartedly thank each of our volunteers whose contributions assisted with the planning and execution of the Dorchester Beach Festival. Their generous support enabled the committee to plan a larger scale event with many more activities.
