Volunteers
We need your help!
Why volunteer?
With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. We are a 100% Volunteer base and we need your help to keep this Appalachian Tradition going. Volunteering for our festival helps to give back to the community. If we can keep this tradition alive, all of the proceeds made by the festival go back to the community through grants given by The Appalachian Community Development Association.
Volunteering can benefit you by making new friends improving or learning new skills, and most of all will make you feel good inside about helping keep this amazing event alive.
Areas where we need volunteers:
- Set-up & Staging: This area will involve lifting and moving around of tables, chairs, straw, wood,etc. This is a physical area to work so come prepared to do anything.
- Information Booth: In this booth you will be the festival hub and information. You’ll greet patrons and give directions to different events and vendors at the festival. You will communicate with coordinators & first aid/security if needed with a 2-way radio.
- Exhibitor / Volunteer Check – In: Previous festival experience and knowledge is required for this area. You will help check in and direct vendors to where they need to be. You will also may deal with patrons with the entrance fee and directions.
- Admission Gates: You’ll need to have basic math skills, speak English fluently, take money & coupons, provide accurate change, honesty, and distribute festival programs.
