Additional Information

Joy Prom Winston-Salem is a full-scale, annual prom for the special needs individuals and those with disabilities in our community. Established in 2015, we welcome guests ages 16+, with any physical, developmental, or intellectual "different ability!" Joy Prom is more than a dance or one night event. Joy Prom is a celebration of unity through an outpouring of love and acceptance for our guests.

The Red Carpet Cheering Crowd  cheer for our guests and make them feel like the "Stars" they are as they walk down the red carpet. Cheering consists of clapping , waving and cheering words of encouragement. Cheering begins once the guest name is announced and the guest begins walking the runway. The announcer will let you know if the guest requested a silent cheer. A silent cheer is just waving, no clapping or cheers. 

This opportunity typically takes approximately 2 hours.

You are asked to arrive at 5:00PM in order to have time to check in at the volunteer check-in station and then take your place along the red carpet no later than 5:30 PM. Red carpet historically has opened 5-10 minutes prior to the published time and all who are volunteering for the red carpet cheering crowd must be ready once the event begins.

All volunteers are required to wear a volunteer badge.

***This opportunity ends once the last guest walks the red carpet.***

You will receive more detailed information the week prior to the event. Shelley, Joy Prom Executive Director, or one of the leaders for that area will provide last minutes details to the volunteers just prior to the first guest walking the red carpet.

This is a wonderful family service opportunity!!!

Volunteers ages 5 to 13 are welcome to join us for this volunteer opportunity.

All volunteers under age 14 MUST be accompanied by an adult.

Walking the red carpet is one of the highlights for they guests ! They love this time and hearing all the cheers from their fans.

In Forsyth County, Extension Master Gardener volunteer training is typically held once each year. In addition to completing the 40-hour training course, EMG students are also required to volunteer 40 hours of their time with Extension in order to become certified Extension Master Gardener volunteers. Following successful certification, EMG volunteers are expected to continue accumulating a certain number of volunteer and continuing education hours each year to remain certified (the exact numbers are subject to change if the need arises). 

The EMG volunteer program is open to all members of the community who are willing and able to complete volunteer work with Extension in Forsyth County. Both beginning and experienced gardeners are welcome. The EMG volunteer program in Forsyth County is overseen by a Horticulture Agent and the Volunteer Coordinator.
