VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES – 2018 FESTIVAL

AnchorTUCSON FOLK FESTIVAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Thank you for visiting our festival volunteer opportunities page!  It takes well over two-hundred volunteers (most working as little as a 2-hour shift) to keep the Folk Festival running smoothly. It’s a fact . . . the Tucson Folk Festival could not happen each year without volunteer support!  It’s such fun to be a part of this event!

We use the SignUpGenius online program for our festival volunteers; listing all the positions available along with the shifts scheduled.  Volunteers just click on the Sign Up Genius button to be a festival volunteer, or may email the coordinators listed.  The Coordinators will follow up with you regarding any training, if required, as well as, answer any questions you may have!

It is our incredible volunteers that truly enable the Tucson Folk Festival to remain FREE to the public!  32 years and counting!
