VOLUNTEER APPLICATION

Dear 53rd Annual Juneteenth Jubilee Parade Volunteer,

Thank you for being a part of history as Northcott Neighborhood House presents the 53rd Annual
Juneteenth Jubilee Parade. This year's theme is "Our History, Our Culture, Our Village," and we
want everyone to be involved in Juneteenth because this is an historical holiday for all.

Milwaukee is home to one of the longest running Juneteenth Day celebrations in the country. Our
parade will be televised live on TMJ4 from 9 AM to 11 AM, and the historic parade route steps off
at 14th & Atkinson Ave. and ends at Dr. MLK Jr. Drive & Locust St.

This year we are looking for more volunteers to help with the Juneteenth Jubilee Parade. We are
requesting a 3-hour minimum of volunteerism. We will need volunteers beginning at 7 AM to
assist with the parade line-up and as late at 2 PM to assist with cleaning up along the parade route.

If you or your organization is interested in volunteering, please complete the sign-up form
and return your completed application out to:

George Akpan & Nicole Goins

Co-Chairs of Juneteenth Jubilee Parade

We would like to thank you in advance for your participation and we look forward to you joining
us as we celebrate on Wednesday June 19, 2024.

Warm regards,

Tony A. Kearney, Sr.

Northcott Neighborhood House Executive Director & Juneteenth President
