DURHAM NC 2025 Hayti Legacy Kwanzaa Volunteers

We’re excited to celebrate Kwanzaa at the Hayti Heritage Center, and we’re calling on our NCCU community to help make this year’s event a beautiful success! Volunteers are needed in a variety of roles and time slots to support setup, greeter, usher, breakdown, and more.

December 23 2025 Pre Event
We need helping hands to prepare the space at the Hayti Heritage Center including an interactive escape room for teens. In addition we need helping hands with arranging seating, decorating, organizing materials, and making sure everything is ready for our community.

Event Day Volunteers – December 26th (10:00 AM–8:30 PM)
On the day of the celebration, volunteers are needed throughout the event in 2-hour shifts with 2 hours on, 2 hours off. Feel free to sign up for one shift or several—your energy and presence make all the difference. While volunteering, we encourage you to enjoy the festivities, connect with the community, and immerse yourself in the spirit of Kwanzaa!

Your support helps bring this cultural tradition to life. Thank you for contributing your time, joy, and service.

As we get closer to the date we will hold a virtual orientation to go over details and specific roles. 

Thank You for your interest.
