Help keep the dance floor moving.
Fam Jam is a dance party for parents and kids 12 and under on Cape Cod. Our mission is simple: get families moving and connecting together, phones away. Volunteers are the people who make that feel easy.
Every volunteer role has a superpower.
Fam Jam runs on five powers: movement, light, sound, connection and heart. Choose the one that sounds like you, or tell us you will go wherever you are needed. Jam Ambassadors are the role we need most.
Jam Ambassadors Movement
Your one job is movement. You are on the dance floor and on your feet for most of the 90 minutes, bringing the energy and keeping everyone moving. Best for energetic people who love to dance. If you are the person who starts the conga line, this one is yours.
Tickets and Check-In Light
You are the first spark of the Fam Jam experience. Welcome families at the red carpet, scan tickets and point the way, so every guest walks in lit up and ready to jam.
Sound Crew Sound
The people behind the party. Greet guests, run concessions, help at the DJ booth, staff the merch table, and set up and break down the room. Jump in where the party needs you.
Photographers Connection
Every photo carries the Fam Jam standard, so this is not an open sign-up. Our photographers are hand-picked. Show us your best work and tell us about your gear, and if there is a spot behind the lens, we will be in touch. Skilled volunteers with their own equipment get a close look. Photographers must be 18 or older. If you applied with a child, a Jam Ambassador lead will reach out about where you fit best.
First Responders and Medical Heart
Heart keeps everyone safe, happy and connected. This role is for adults who currently hold first responder or medical responsibility, such as nurses, doctors, EMTs, firefighters and police officers. If that is you, we would be honored to have you on the Fam Jam team. Please add your credential on the form below.
Here is what the day looks like.
Every event day has two or more sessions. Each session is about 90 minutes of music, movement and screen-free family time.
Huddle
Volunteers arrive before doors open for a quick team huddle and walk-through.
Red carpet
Families arrive, get greeted and have their tickets checked. Photos start right away.
Dance party
The floor opens. Jam Ambassadors are active for most of the 90 minutes, dancing, leading and keeping it moving, while Light volunteers keep things bright and our photographers capture the connection.
Wrap and reset
We say thank you, wrap the session and reset the room for the next one.
You will never wonder what happens after you sign up.
