Berkeley Lab will have a booth at the 2026 Black Joy Parade, and we’d love for you to be part of it! Join us in celebrating, honoring, and experiencing Black joy while connecting with the local community.
We’re looking for Lab ambassadors to volunteer on Sunday, February 22, helping set up and staff the Lab’s booth. Choose a time slot that works for you and join us for a fun, meaningful day. All employees are welcome to participate.
The Black Joy Parade exists to provide the Black community and allies a live experience that celebrates their influence on cultures past, present, and future. The Lab’s participation is a valuable way to share with the local community more about who we are and what we do.
That's where you come in. As a volunteer, you will:
- Serve as an ambassador for Berkeley Lab and its scientific research,
- Help facilitate a kid-friendly hands-on activity,
- Share information on ways people can engage with the lab,
- Collect contact information for "Elements," Berkeley Lab's newsletter for members of the local community, and
- Field any questions we get from visitors to our booth
The event is open to the public from 12pm-5pm. To learn more about the Black Joy Parade please visit blackjoyparade.org
