Volunteer
Do you want to play a vital role in the success of Dining Out For Life?
Volunteer as an Ambassador! The Aliveness Project needs 200+ volunteer hosts at the 160+ participating restaurants throughout the metro area. Last year, Ambassadors raised over $76,000 in additional donations.
Ambassadors represent The Aliveness Project at restaurants on the day of the event. For one or more meals, you will:
- invite friends, family, and co-workers to your restaurant
- welcome and thank diners
- encourage participation in our prize drawing and additional donations
Ambassadors have the option of working with a partner, so it’s a great activity to do with a friend, classmate, or co-worker. Aliveness provides a 1.5 hour training session and all the materials you need to be successful. No prior volunteer experience is necessary. Have fun while having a huge impact on your community!
There are other ways to volunteer for Dining Out For Life:
- Photography – Take photographs at participating restaurants.
- Materials Assembly – Organize all the print materials, including posters, stickers, information packets, and prize lists, for ambassadors and restaurants.
- Materials Distribution– Drive materials to our participating restaurants.
Fill out an application to get started. Email volunteer@aliveness.org with any questions.

“The best part of being an Ambassador is interacting with all the amazing people who come out in droves to support a really great cause. I feel like it’s my way of contributing to a cause and supporting an organization whose mission I believe it.”
