Volunteer for the Phoenix Veterans Day Parade
The annual Phoenix Veterans Day Parade is an all-volunteer effort, requiring hundreds of willing hands to honor the contributions of our U.S. veterans and help build a patriotic Phoenix community spirit that recognizes the sacrifices veterans make for our country. If you feel you could help in some way, please click the link under the area that interests you. We couldn’t put on an event like this without our wonderful volunteers! When: November 11 Time: Approximately 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
All volunteer opportunities are now filled. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered this year!
We have several opportunities where you can help, including:

Parade March Volunteers (50-60)
All Positions Filled
During the parade, the Parade March volunteers help ensure that the units keep a steady pace, and they will help the unit manage any issues including pacing, breakdowns, access to first aid, etc. If the matter is a car breakdown or other similar issue, the volunteer will need to assist in moving the broken-down vehicle or entry to the left and help the entries behind them to move to the right so the parade may continue along the route. The Parade Committee will respond with appropriate support.
