Become a part of our team and directly contribute to the success of this free, three day festival that promotes diversity and culture in the Mid-Ohio Valley.

Volunteers are the key to this great event! Even the Board of Directors is made up entirely of volunteers! Come join us at the festival by assisting attendees, exhibitors, and entertainers. You will walk away with a rewarding experience you will never forget.

Festival dates are June 17 th-19th . Shifts are generally in 2 hour increments, but you may sign up for more than one shift. Since most activities are outdoors, social distancing is possible. Only the children's activities in the Pavilion are inside. Outdoor performances are on the stage, except for those involving fire, which will be held in a roped-off area to allow some distance from observers.

Setup (June 16th & 17th)

Please note that setup often involves heavy lifting! Setup volunteers will assist staff with preparing for the event on the Friday prior to the start time of the Festival. Tasks include creating and placing signage (includes the use of tools), setting up registration areas, assisting in setting up vendor stations, placement of tables and chairs, etc.

Information Booth

Volunteers working in the information booth will assist with greeting and educating visitors about the organization’s mission, informing them of important locations and providing guests with schedules. Volunteers will be responsible for selling merchandise (t-shirts, tote bags, etc.), and providing security for the money collected.

Children’s Activities

Volunteers will help facilitate the kid’s programming and activities as needed and should enjoy working with children. Come prepared to have fun!

Cleanup (June 19th)

Volunteers are needed to take down signs, take down tents, clean up any garbage left behind, etc.
