Needs From: Barrington Area Volunteer Connection

Let It Be Us is launching our very first Barrington Tag Days - a new, community-powered fundraiser in support of children in foster care, including those waiting for adoption.

We are forming a 5-person leadership committee to bring this event to life - from concept to execution to impact. Together, we’ll activate Barrington’s busiest corners and storefronts in a way that is safe, joyful and engaging, inviting the community to give while spreading a little sweetness (candy) along the way.  

Join us in building what will become a signature annual event for Barrington - and a powerful force for children who need us most.

The event will take place over a weekend in May - yet to be determined. Meetings will take place at our office in Barrington’s White House.

The Barrington's White House docent volunteer group provides support for our 3rd Thursday Art Night Out series, Fourth of July Open House, Holiday Open House, and the Historic Tea held in the spring.

Docents also educate the community on the history and importance of Barrington's White House. Many members of the docent volunteer group wear period costumes when attending select events. 

The Barrington's White House group of hospitality volunteers provide support at all cultural events throughout the Fall, Spring, and Summer seasons.

For each cultural event, typically held on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons, four to six individuals from our volunteer group are scheduled. Duties include greeting, ticket sales and check-in, directing patrons, answering questions, helping with refreshments, and light clean up at the end of the event.

Volunteers are asked to arrive one hour prior to the start of the event, and stay 30 minutes after it ends. Typically volunteers enjoy the performance once check-in duties are complete.

Volunteers are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis for each event. Volunteers are encouraged to volunteer as much as their schedule allows.
