Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Solidarity March on Sunday, June 14th at Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave.  

The first step in becoming a volunteer for this specific march is registering. If you registered for past events/marches with Women's March  Foundation, we still need you to fill out this form.

Types of Volunteer Opportunities

1) Peace Ambassador:

• Peace Ambassador Description:  A Peace Ambassador is just that...keeps the peace!  From keeping participants safe from traffic to moving people safely from one location to another to reporting potentially tense situations (between marchers, with the public, and onlookers/opponents)...Peace Ambassadors keep the march flowing.  There is a min age requirement of 18 years old to be a Peace Ambassador.
• Peace Ambassador Training: If you have not been trained as a Peace Ambassador, no worries.  We will be conducting a training session on June 14th, day of the march, upon check-in. If you have already served as a Women's March Foundation Peace Ambassador and gone through the training, you are set and do not need to be trained again.  You MUST complete a training session to serve as a Peace Ambassador.

2) Voter Registration:

It is incredibly important that marchers are registered to vote and that is where you come in.  You will be given a clipboard and a supply of voter registration forms to equip you to ask marchers if they are registered to vote. If you have not been trained or need a refresher on how to register people to vote, just click here.

3) General Volunteer:

As a general volunteer, there are a variety of tasks you can help out with. Upon check-in you will sign up (first come, first serve basis) for a specific task such as passing out water to marchers, help putting up banners or assisting one of the organizers.  

The min age to serve as a General Volunteer is 18 years old.
