Welcome to the 2025 Jazz Festival Volunteer! As we say, the Jazz Festival runs on volunteer fuel! 

The application is necessary to make sure we have your most up-to-date information and the application has changed this year to reflect the big changes in the jazz festival format!

All positions this year will require a 'whatever it takes' attitude to see the festival through and that will likely consist of at least 14 volunteer hours over the jazz weekend. (But you'll be having so much fun, you won't even notice!)

Each volunteer will be asked to work one morning shift and one evening/night shift that coincides with the published schedule on our website (To be published later) If you have limitations that prevent you from working these shifts, please let me know as soon as possible. 

Originally I said that you must be available for the entire weekend to serve as a volunteer. That's not entirely true. Shifts will be as follows:

             * Thursday PM & Saturday AM

             * Friday AM & Saturday PM

             * Friday PM & Sunday AM


Final assignments and volunteer list will be made after receiving all of the applications. Once the application reviewing process is complete, you will receive a confirmation email so you can plan accordingly. Please state your top TWO shift preferences (not just one) in your application and know we will do our best to accommodate you.

Things will definitely look different this year so please plan to be flexible as we work out the details. As mentioned before, if you are not able to perform these duties for any reason, please contact me as soon as possible!

We're so glad you decided to join us!
