Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a great way to get involved in your community. Many volunteer opportunities exist with the Longmont Downtown Development Authority (LDDA) throughout the year. Whether you want to be involved in the heart of a special event, help collect data, or clean-up downtown, the LDDA could use your assistance. We appreciate your interest in helping us make Downtown Longmont a vibrant, fun, clean and safe place to be.

Please download our Volunteer Application and submit to Del Rae Heiser, Program Specialist. If you have any questions, please call Del Rae at 303-651-8484 or email. We look forward to working with you!

Clean & Green Volunteer (new!)

LDDA will be deep cleaning downtown. Volunteers are needed to help clean-up Main Street and around buildings, parking lots, alleys, breezeways, sidewalks, and other structures downtown that need extra TLC to help them shine again. Come with a friend or form a team and make downtown a beautiful and vibrant destination for everyone. Friday clean-up is from 12pm – 4pm (lunch provided) and Saturday clean-up is 8am – 12pm (breakfast provided).

Friday Night Event Liaison (new!)

The LDDA will be celebrating art and entertainment in downtown Longmont in 2012 by sponsoring a variety of live events on Friday evenings (6pm-9pm). We need a volunteer each Friday to work with artists and business owners to help setup/breakdown the event.

Responsibilities include:

  • Work on-site with artists and business owners to setup and breakdown event space
  • Act as LDDA host during event (optional)
  • Collect and report post-event feedback
  • Volunteers must commit to event setup and breakdown, but have the option to either stay during the entire event or enjoy other aspects of Downtown during the evening.
  • Volunteers will report to the featured business by 5:40pm and can return by 8:45pm Volunteer shifts will usually be completed by 9:15pm
