Events 🎉🎭🥁
Explore event volunteer opportunities involving festivals, cultural celebrations, community events, gatherings and other temporary activities where volunteers help an event run.
Roles can include setup and teardown, visitor information, welcoming participants, logistics, food service, artist or workshop support, cleaning, media activities and other practical tasks. Conditions vary considerably between events, especially for short-term or seasonal opportunities.
What counts as event volunteering? 🎉
This tag is intended for opportunities where volunteers directly help organise, prepare, operate or close an event. A project should not receive the Events tag simply because events occasionally take place at the venue or volunteers can attend festivals, workshops or social activities during their free time.
Different types of events
Event volunteering can range from a small community gathering to a large international festival. More specific tags can also be used when appropriate. For example, Festivals covers festival-specific opportunities, while Gatherings and Workshops describe more specific formats.
