The Lab’s African American ERG and the Government & Community Relations Office are teaming up to participate in Oakland's 2025 Black Joy Parade! We will have a booth at the event and are looking for Lab ambassadors to join us on Sunday, February 23rd, to help set up and run the Lab’s booth, so pick a time slot and join us for the fun! 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
