The Olympia Film Society’s Volunteer Community is the vital, beating heart of the organization. OFS Volunteers work to ensure the health and longevity of Olympia’s historic Capitol Theater by staffing the lobby, projecting the films, promoting the events, cleaning the facility, and preserving it for future generations of film lovers in Olympia. The very existence of the Olympia Film Society and the Capitol Theater would not be possible without the efforts and support of our incredible volunteers.
Now is the time for you to get involved! The first step is to sign up on our Volunteer Management System – also known as the “VMS.” Simply follow the instructions onscreen and create your profile, which will enable you to grab the shifts that work with your schedule directly from the schedule we work with here at the theater.
Have issues getting signed up on the VMS? Call OFS Volunteer Director, Kelly at 360-754-6670 ext. 11 or contact them by email for assistance.
Aside from Front of House positions, we also offer volunteer opportunities in Cleaning and Maintenance, Street Team and Promotions, and Film Projection (digital and analog film)!
The Olympia Film Society (OFS) was formed in 1980 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3). OFS began leasing the Capitol Theater in 1990 and purchased the Capitol Theater in 2010. The 762-seat theater, built in 1924 and an Olympia landmark, has been in continuous use as a theater. In the minds of many patrons, the Capitol Theater is an inextricable part of OFS’ identity.
