The first step in the Children's Festival Volunteer application is to review and accept our Volunteer Standards. This way, you know what you're signing up for!
After you've accepted the standards, you'll be asked to create a volunteer profile by telling us a little bit about yourself. This helps us find the perfect volunteer role for your Children's Festival experience.

After that, the volunteer team will be notified of your application, and it will take them a few days to approve it. Once your application has been approved, you'll receive an email from us with instructions on how to sign up for shifts and important dates to be aware of.
