Volunteer Positions

Before the Festival

Publicity: Equip yourself with staples, wheatpaste, or your adhesive of choice and blitz your neighbourhood. Go to festivals and concerts and leaflet. Help distro the program around the neighbourhood.

During the Festival

Gates: Stand at the gates, take money, greet all the pretty people. Work it sugar, Under the Volcano relies on donations to exist.

Security: Feel tough, be tough, but peace sister, no rough stuff.

Parking: Direct cars to empty parking spaces, chastise single occupancy vehicles, get to say “No, your other left, sir”

Environment: Recycling and composting -- ‘cuz it’s better than taking out the trash.

After the Festival:

Take Down: Break down the stages, pick up garbage. More fun than you might think. We usually go back the next day and can provide rides if you need one.

All volcano volunteers will get free entrance to the festival, food, and a fabulous t-shirt.
