Contribute

The Parade of Nations and Multicultural Fest relies on spirited cooperation between area campuses and the community. There are many ways to volunteer, actively supporting the mission to promote international understanding, build cultural awareness, and celebrate the diversity inherent in our healthy, strong, and inclusive environment. Your participation on any level is meaningful. Attend events. Entertain or applaud. Help set up or clean up. Or choose to become a sponsor and multiply your impact on one of Keweenaw’s premiere events.
