Volunteer Opportunity – Pinwheels for Prevention
Become part of something meaningful and impactful by volunteering at the Pinwheels for Prevention community event on Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at Buckner RGV, located at 3780 N. Bentsen Palm Drive in Mission, Texas.
This event is part of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the pinwheel serves as the national symbol of hope, joy, and the bright, healthy childhoods all children deserve.
We are recruiting volunteers who want to serve alongside local families, community partners, and other students to make this event successful and welcoming. Volunteer responsibilities may include:
-
Assisting with event setup and tear down
-
Managing games and activities
-
Directing guests and helping with parking flow
-
Helping with popcorn and refreshment stations
-
Taking photos and engaging with participants
-
Supporting Buckner staff and partner agencies during the event
This is a great way to build community connections, gain volunteer experience, and serve families in the Rio Grande Valley. Please plan to wear comfortable clothing, closed-toe shoes, and a hat for outdoor activities. Lunch, snacks, and drinks will be provided to all volunteers.
