Want to do a lil’ job that makes a major impact in keeping a fabulous and free festival alive in our community? Volunteer for Cityfolk festival! Interested volunteers should contact Kathleen Alter to select a shift.
VOLUNTEER TASK DESCRIPTION:

Cityfolk festival is requesting vibrant, outgoing volunteers to help us with the “You Make the Music Happen” suggested donation campaign. Due to a significant reduction in federal, state and corporate funding Cityfolk is asking for a suggested donation at the festival this year. We desperately want to keep the festival free but we need help to do that. We will have stations (manned by two people) at entrances and roving teams of two asking people for donations. Everyone who donates will receive a sticker saying “I Made the Music Happen”. This will ensure that people who donated money will not be asked multiple times for a donation. This is a not a high pressure sale, simply a chance to share the message about the quality of life that Cityfolk adds to Southwest Ohio.

Volunteers will be in teams of two and can choose to work at an entrance or be a rover in a designated area. We are looking for 30 people per day and the shifts are 3 hours. The buckets will be zip-tied shut and will be taken to the business office at the end of the shift. There will be no need to handle the money. All volunteers will receive a special shirt that say “Make the Music Happen” to wear while volunteering. If your groups chooses to volunteer you will be recognized in the festival program.
Other volunteer jobs include: greet Festival visitors at the entrance gates, pour beer as part of the Beer Crew, make sure the artists and staff are well fed as members of the Hospitality Crew, and much, much more. Some new opportunities are available this year, so be sure to scan all the job descriptions if you’d like to try something different. There’s a volunteer job for everyone!
BONUS: Volunteers receive a great t-shirt. PLUS if you volunteer – you’re already downtown to attend one of the hottest parties of the summer!
