The Concord Downtown Development Corporation is utilizing student volunteers and interns to assist with a variety of tasks this summer and throughout the school year. To create additional work stations we are soliciting the donation of an IPAD, either new or gently used. Any generation would be welcome. If you wish to assist the CDDC with this donation please email info@concorddowntown.com.
The CDDC Partners with Area Non Profit Organizations for Events
 The CDDC coordinates win-win partnerships with area non profit organizations that wish to have a place at CDDC events, including Union Street Live Concerts. At each concert up to two non profit organizations will have the opportunity to set up a booth. In return the non profits assist the CDDC in setting up and breaking down the event. Setup takes place at lunchtime the day of the concert and with at least four people would take less than an hour. Break down begins immediately at 9:00 PM and with a similar-sized crew takes thirty minutes. All set-up and break-down crews are directed by the CDDC staff. For more information email info@concorddowntown.com.
