Get Involved...

The 300th volunteers will assist as representatives of New Bern during its year-long celebration. Being a volunteer provides local residents a unique opportunity to participate in exciting events that will inspire our guests to visit New Bern in 2010 and beyond. Volunteers can assist with specific events such as the 300th Jubilee or help with general office work, communications, school and community outreach, and other needs. You may also want to organize beautification projects in your community to help prepare for our guests or participate in a bunting class and help our town look historic for the celebration. By all means, invite and encourage your friends and family to be a part of this once in a lifetime experience. We look forward to celebrating New Bern’s 300th anniversary with your help.

If you would like to become a volunteer, or if you are interested in donating or sponsoring the 300th Celebration, please download the Get Involved Form (requires Adobe Reader), fill it out and email, fax, or mail it back to our office.

Thank you for your participation and support!
