We have (3) Types of Volunteers for our festivals:
GROUP VOLUNTEERS: We work with group leaders of local organizations and get them pre-registered with us. Before an event, our volunteer coordinator assign spots to each group and they are programmed into our on-line SIGNUP program. Group leaders are responsible for getting their members signed up by the deadline, understanding general knowledge of assigned spots and ensuring that the folks signing up are able to perform the jobs they sign up for. DONATIONS FROM THE EVENT ARE MADE BACK TO THE GROUP BASED ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED. Group volunteers do not get an event shirt, but do have the option to purchase one for $15 if they would like one. Prior to an event there are opportunities for pre-event training if you are new or would like more info about your task. Some volunteers are assigned to our Emergency/Evacuation Team and they also have special training before an event. INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS: In advance of the fest, individual volunteers sign up by working with the Assist. Fest Coordinator. For working a shift (4-5 hours usually) they receive a volunteer event shirt and either a $15 gift card to a local restaurant or ticket to attend the fest after their shift (if they work first shift). Some individuals work a double shift and get (2) gift cards. SUPERSTAR VOLUNTEERS: This special group of folks work with us on higher level and supervise an area of the event. They work a 10-15 hour day the day of the festival, and often the days before and after. They come back year after year, and also assist us many times in-between festivals. Donations based on their number of hours worked are donated to their favorite charitable organization. |
HOW TO SIGN UP TO:
We use an on-line program called SIGN-UP to manage all of the hundreds of folks from Groups and our Individual/SuperStar volunteers. When it is time, the SIGN UP LOGO will be on this page and when you click on it you will see all the groups that are volunteering. Find your organization and pick a spot to sign up for. If you have any questions or have problems signing up, just let us know and we can help. Contact your group leader first or if you need SVAE help, contact Jeff at Volunteer@SmithfieldVAEvents.com or call him at 757-675-6893 QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS SIGNING UP?

We are not currently selling volunteer shirts at this time, please check back before each event if you would like to purchase one. Group Volunteers do not receive an event shirt.
