play a part in our
collective effort
(you don’t need to live in New Cumberland - all are welcome!)
The New Cumberland Collective is powered by volunteers like you—neighbors, artists, and organizers who want to help create the community they want to live in.
We host festivals, organize community projects, support local artists and musicians, and create spaces where people can gather, learn from each other, and turn ideas into reality. And it all happens because people like you show up.
You don't need to live in New Cumberland. You don't need experience. Just show up and help shape our community for the better!
🎉 Make Events Happen
Help plan and execute our festivals and community gatherings. Whether it's coordinating vendors, managing volunteers, or running our monthly series, there's a role for organizers at every level.
