Ashkenaz Music and Dance Community Center Street Team
SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT ASHKENAZ!

Want to go to Ashkenaz shows for free while helping out a great organization and introducing people to incredible established and emerging artists?

The Ashkenaz Street Team is a group of people who love Ashkenaz and want to share it with others. Street Team Volunteer opportunities include:

• Distributing monthly calendars
• Flyering handbills at other shows and festivals in the Bay Area
• Postering
• Spreading news through word-of-mouth and through group e-mails

You will be compensated with complimentary tickets to our shows and other benefits, and will be joining a wonderful community.

Ideal Street Team members have a strong interest in music and community, and are, or want to be, involved in the Bay Area music scenes. If you go to shows at other venues with similar audience interests as ours, all the better! We ask for a three-month volunteer commitment.

E-mail Joe Balestreri, Publicity and Outreach Coordinator, at joe@ashkenaz.com for more information.
