EarthFest 2016

Continuing a multi-year tradition, APAPA-SE will be hosting a booth at Temple’s EarthFest with educational materials and activities related to the planning profession.  We are looking for volunteers to help staff an interactive booth.  Volunteers can sign up for the full event, a portion of the event, or even just the setup period (begins around 8:00 AM).  It is a great opportunity to share our profession with local students while spending the day outside in a festival atmosphere!  No need to be a Temple alumni or student (although they are certainly welcome).

If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions about the event, please contact John Federico at jefederico@urbanengineers.com.
