REQUIREMENTS

  • AGE REQUIREMENTS: Volunteers under the age of 18 can apply to help out at the festival, but may be excluded from certain positions. They must submit a permission form signed by a parent or guardian before volunteering. Volunteers under the age of 18 who wish to apply must also be at least 16 years old to participate.
  • COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY: In an effort to ensure the safety of our volunteers and patrons, masks will be required in all indoor spaces. We also require all volunteers and attendees to provide proof of full vaccination and a booster, if eligible, with a COVID-19 vaccine approved by the CDC, or proof of a negative PCR test taken at least 72 hours before festival screenings and events.

Help us out by recruiting other committed volunteers. We need more this year so invite your friends and family, co-workers, fellow students, community members, and your neighbor’s best friend’s grandma (we promise she’ll have fun)! There is no such thing as too many volunteers!
