Individual Volunteers: 

Volunteering for our festivals is FUN and even if you don't belong to a group you can still volunteer!

You can help out and then donate your time to your favorite charity or organization or, for some situations, get a ticket to attend a festival after you work your shift.

All you do is sign up and come work your shift! We take care of the rest! 
How it works: 
Get started by sending our Volunteer Coordinator an email at [email protected]
Individual volunteers directly contact our Volunteer Manager (VM) to sign up to work. We fill slots well in advance of festivals, so if you know you want to work one, go ahead and contact us. 

Our VM will let you know what jobs are open and will manually input you into an assigned job in the signup program.  You will get a confirmation email and reminders via our signup program.

​Shifts are usually 4-5 hours or you can choose to an "all-day" shift if you want to work the entire festival.

Individual Volunteers get an event shirt, and then choose to: a) donate their hours to a charitable cause, b) $15 gift card to a local restaurant or c) get tix to attend the fest.
