A.F.H.G. Volunteers

The African Heritage Graduation Committee needs your help! We believe volunteers are a vital part of achieving our goals to make the ceremony a great success. Our volunteers play a key role in a number of our positions, such as greeting, tabling, serving, etc. Due to the expected large amount of ceremony attendees, volunteers are needed to serve on the committees listed below.  If you would like to volunteer for a great cause, signup to share this great experience with our graduates.

You will earn service/co-curricular credit hours as a volunteer. So, join us in the coming weeks to prepare, to coordinate, and to celebrate with us at the African Heritage Graduation Ceremony on Saturday, May 4, 2024, in Wilkins Theater.
