THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride could use extra help in transporting guests to the North Pole. Each year, Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) relies on more than 100 volunteers each night to make the magic of Christmas come alive on THE POLAR EXPRESS™ presented by Countertop Solutions.
“Ho! Ho! Ho! I love getting visitors at my workshop each year and seeing all the smiling faces aboard THE POLAR EXPRESS™,” said Santa Claus. “I’m extra busy this year checking my list twice, but my elves tell me they could use more help on the train to get families into the Christmas spirit.”
Volunteers are needed onboard the train, interfacing with children and families. Onboard positions include leader, assistant, server or Santa. Training is required for all positions. The next training sessions are Nov. 16 and 30 at 10:30 a.m. at Fitzwater Trainyard (7600 Canal Road, Valley View, OH 44125).
Volunteers who reach 20 hours of volunteer time (travel not included) will receive early access to eight tickets for THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride 2020.
Interested volunteers should complete the online volunteer application at http://crew.cvsr.com/vol_application.php. Further information will be given once the application is submitted.
