How can I become a Volunteer for the Festival?

The best way to become a volunteer for the Festival is to register through this website (see the form below) for the particular shift that you would like to have, and the Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to confirm your choice.

All registered volunteers for 2010 must attend the volunteer orientation in August, time TBC, where they will have an opportunity to meet with the staff, to learn about the festival, programming, their shifts, what is expected from them and what is expected from the staff. This is the best opportunity to ask questions.

Sign in / Sign out

Every volunteer must register (sign in) before performing the shift. To do so, please arrive to the festival Volunteer Centre (tent) in Parc de l’Ukraine 10 minutes before the beginning of your shift. There you will meet the Volunteer Coordinator, who will assist you, so don’t hesitate to ask for help.

At the end of the shift volunteers must sign out from the shift at the same Volunteer Centre.

NOTE: If a volunteer has two or more shifts one after the other, he/she is asked to sign in only once, before the beginning of the first shift, and sign out only after the end of the last shift for that specific day.

Attendance

If you will be late or would need to cancel or reschedule your shift, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator as soon as possible, preferably at least 24 hours before the beginning of the shift. This will allow us time to find a substitute.

Festival T-shirts

At the time of registration each volunteer will receive a T-shirt. Please wear this T-shirt while on your shift. This is for the convenience of the Festival visitors who will then be able to locate volunteers and staff without difficulty.

Also please dress comfortably during the shift, as the shift might require certain physical work. Keep in mind that if your shift is outdoors, having a hat, sunglasses and the sun block might be a sound idea. An umbrella or raincoat could come in handy as well.
