Valery- I would recommend that you do a search on VolunteerMaine.org for an opportunity in the Bangor or Newport area related to your interests. If you can’t find anything through that venue, you could try contacting the Volunteer Center at United Way of Eastern Maine. You could visit their website at http://www.unitedwayem.org or call 207-941-2800. Thanks for your interest in serving!

All marshalls are volunteers. Is this not illigal? We get discounts on food and merchandise and free play for our time.
