VOLUNTEER

We NEED your help!   The following volunteer positions are available:

Venue Helper

This is our most needed job, as they do the bulk of the work. Assignments can include answering questions such as “where are the restrooms?”, monitoring the exits that are not being used for entry and egress during the festival, checking for wristbands/badges and directing those without one to where they can buy one or exchanging a ticket for one, installing wristbands (not too tight, not too loose), and exchanging tickets for wristbands. Also, venue helpers will assist with collecting loose trash during breaks between performers and at the end of the day. Volunteer attire for Venue Helpers is black pants and a white top or Redwood Coast Music Festival shirt. Please, no shorts or flip-flops.

Band Hospitality

At the Sequoia Conference Center, assist in food preparation, presentation, and serving band members while they dine. Attire for Band Hospitality volunteers is black pants and a white top or Redwood Coast Music Festival shirt. Please, no shorts or flip-flops. Also, bring a jacket and/or other appropriate clothing to keep warm as you move food from the kitchen, across the parking lot, and to the band dining area.

Additional Details:

There will be a mandatory training session prior to the festival at a time and date to be announced

Band Shuttle Driver

Transport festival musicians in the Eureka area between hotels and venues. Must have a clean driving record. Drivers are needed Thursday through Sunday. The sign-up for this role looks different than the other roles, as we currently don’t know what resources (cars and drivers) are available, as well as the transport needs for the bands. Once we get closer to the festival, we will call you to find out when you are available and match you with what is needed. If this looks like something you want to do, sign up now and someone will call you and figure out a schedule. In the sign-up database, you’ll find a work shift for each of the 4 days of the festival. Each of these 4 shifts will be for one of the days from opening to closing of the festival. We are not asking for you to sign up to work the entire day, you’ll be expressing your availability and desire to work a few hours (or more) on that day or multiple days.

This position requires attending a training session (at least 2 will be offered at a date and time that will be determined as we get closer) prior to the festival.
