Volunteer Opportunities
Just like sponsors, volunteers play an essential role in bringing events, programs, and revitalization projects to life in Downtown Iron Mountain! All festival volunteers receive FREE admission, plus drink and food vouchers.
Build a Volunteer Team at your Business! Encouraging employees to volunteer benefits both the business and the community. Volunteering fosters team building, boosts morale, and enhances employee engagement, creating a positive work culture. It also helps businesses strengthen their connection with the community, improve their public image, and demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility.
Want to volunteer as an individual? Volunteering is a great way for individuals to make a positive impact while also gaining personal rewards. Beyond the immediate satisfaction of making a difference, volunteering provides individuals the opportunity to give back to their local community, gain new skills, and meet like-minded people.
Student Volunteers! It’s never too early to start volunteering. Whether you are in middle school, high school, or college, volunteering at DDA events provides hands on experience that translates to better communication skills, work ethic, and enhances scholarship or college admission applications.
Serve on the DDA Board of Directors! If you are looking to get more involved in DDA planning and operations, consider applying to be on our volunteer Board of Directors, which meets monthly to coordinate and plan DDA operations. Each Board member serves a 4-year term.
Committee Volunteer Opportunities! The DDA is always looking for fresh ideas and passionate members to join our committees. We have three amazing committees where all the planning happens: Beautification, Events, and Business Development!
