White House Announces Christmas Volunteer and Performer Opportunities

First Lady Melania Trump has announced that applications are now open for volunteers and performers to participate in the 2026 Christmas season at the White House. Talented individuals from the Commonwealth may apply for this unique opportunity to represent the Marianas by sharing our spirit of service, culture, and talent at the People’s House. Volunteer decorators must be at least 18 years old, U.S. citizens, and available to serve in Washington, DC, during the Thanksgiving week decorating period. Performers, including school bands, choirs, and holiday-themed entertainers, are also encouraged to apply. Please note that volunteers and performers are responsible for their own travel, accommodations, and other personal expenses. Selected applicants will also be required to complete additional security requirements, including a background investigation. Applications are open through August 28, 2026.
