Calling all Volunteers!

Without people like you, community festivals like The Great Peninsula Cider Festival, commonly known as the CIDER SWIG, could not happen.

Volunteers are needed for event set-up/tear-down, ticketing, assisting vendors, parking, helping in the cider garden and cider retail sales, assisting with the Apple Carnivàle games, manning the volunteer/information tent, grounds maintenance, and other duties.

All volunteers who work a minimum 3-hour shift receive a reduced festival admission ($18), free festival T-shirt, volunteer swag bag, festival tasting glass, $10 meal voucher. . . and have a great time making a difference!

There will be a mandatory volunteer orientation and training for all leaders, coordinators and those working in the cider garden, cider retail sales, and ticket sales areas on Wednesday, September 25 at 5:30 pm. This meeting will be at the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation offices at 7191 Wagner Way, Suite 102, Gig Harbor, WA, 98335. Those working other festival areas are encouraged to attend but are not required. If not working one of the areas requiring training, please check in at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled shift to sign in and pick up your T-shirt - your uniform for the day.

What is the CIDER SWIG?

Dozens of Northwest cidermakers will present more than 100 fine ciders to the growing community of cider lovers – and the cider curious alike. Live music and entertainment on two stages, awesome eats, apple launching, Battle of the Pies - apple pie contest, games, clowns, vendors, and activities in the Apple Carnivàle, the Kids Applet Drop-off, and more will assure a great day for the entire family!

Proceeds support environmental education, watershed health, conservation and related works throughout the Gig Harbor and Key Peninsulas through the Lu Winsor Memorial Environmental Grant program and other community programs.

This year, the CIDER SWIG will be held on Saturday, September 28 from 12 to 5pm. Hope to see you there!

Bring your work gloves and join us for a few hours helping to beautify our campus and the City of Surprise. Weeds need to be pulled, bushes trimmed and some leveling of dirt. Trash pick up and bag all for removal. We have an amazing campus, but our entrance needs some TLC.

Please bring work gloves and we will need extra hoes, rakes and shovels if you have any.

Thanks and we appreciate your support!

Position Details:
Title: Program Fellow
Reports to: Managing Director
Length of Assignment: 1-12 months
Suggested start dates: Any
Positions Open: 8
If interested: Send CV and cover letter to jessica@potentialenergy.org

About the Position: We are currently seeking motivated, passionate, hard-working individuals to join us as Potential Energy Program Fellows in a wide range of areas. Fellows may choose which aspects of work they would like to contribute to, and whether they can work remotely, or join us in Uganda. We tailor the program to the fellows, to make it as relevant as possible.

About Us: Founded in 2007, Potential Energy is a social enterprise based out of Kampala, Uganda that works to increase the adoption of improved cookstoves in developing countries, to alleviate poverty and protect the environment.

Background on the Problem:
Cooking on inefficient, traditional open fires is the leading environmental cause of death in the world. Preparing 3 meals a day over an open fire – a common practice in the developing world – is the equivalent of smoking 200 cigarettes, every single day. Yet, 3 billion people cook their daily meals over an open fire, creating pollution that kills 4.3 million people each year. Traditional fires waste fuel, contribute to deforestation, release carbon into the atmosphere, and waste money and time. In Sub-Saharan Africa, it is not uncommon for families to spend a large portion of their income – sometimes up to 30%, on cooking fuel, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

Impact to date: Distributed over 50,000 cookstoves in Africa/Asia impacting the lives of 300,000 people, saving 750,000 tons of carbon, $17 million in firewood expenses, and over 2,000 hours.

Candlelighters Fun Walk is our largest family fundraiser of our event year. Families of children with cancer come together in honor of their child to raise funds to pay it forward to families who find themselves along similar journeys. The event hosts more than 500 people and raises more than $200,000 for Candlelighters, a local Houston non-profit that provides every day support to children with cancer.
100% of profits raised through the Fun Walk will be used to directly impact the lives of children with cancer and their families specifically by sending approximately 50 families to our family camp (Camp CLIFF) in the fall. Thank you for being a part of this mission!
