Forms of Involvement
We always encourage involvement from the Community, from local residents as artists to volunteers or in any capacity that can support the planning and presentation of Carnival each year we would be grateful to hear from you. Please complete and submit the forms, indicating how you want to be involved. If you are returning the forms by post please clearly mark the envelope with the area of involvement you are interested in ex. Mas camps and Workshops.
Mas Camps and Workshops Opportunities
Mas Camps (masquerade camps) and workshops are a great way to get involved in Carnival. If you want to learn costume making skills or want help making something for the procession, then this is for you.
Workshops are being programmed for 2010 and we will give you information as soon as it is available. We generally provide all the materials, equipment and support needed to assist members of the community who wish to take part in St Pauls Carnival events and procession.
Board Member Opportunities
Each year St Pauls Carnival Board needs to recruit new voluntary board members to help promote and advance the education, appreciation and practice of Afrikan and Caribbean arts, culture and history. Individuals are welcome to enquire, especially those with expertise in the following areas: carnival, youth work, sponsorship, marketing, fundraising, education, staffing, strategic policy and law.
