LEAF LOVES VOLUNTEERS! 
Volunteer applications are now online. See links to the right. We are very excited to get the 2012 LEAF Season underway!

PLEASE NOTE: Festival Volunteers must be a minimun of 18 years of age.

 

Volunteers help create LEAF!  Being of SERVICE is such a great way to be a part of LEAF.  Each festival, it takes 500+ volunteers to help with everything from recycling to childcare. Year-round volunteers are also welcomed and needed for specific projects.

LEAF is a lot of fun AND remember, you are committing to being at LEAF and working your assigned duties & hours. Please take pride in your part by reading all the information. We are grateful for YOU & count on YOU. THANKS! -Volunteer Coordinators| Tory Lindsey & Jessica Starnes

LEAF needs 550+ Volunteers each festival at the Boathouse to get people in canoes & kayaks, in the Kitchen to prepare yummy meals, recycle & clean with the Green Team, serve up local Brews & beverages at Concessions, help people out at First Aid, customer service with Zoom and so much more that truly helps make LEAF happen! Volunteering is cool!

VOLUNTEERS work 10 hours in exchange for a weekend ticket that includes overnight tent camping (meals are not included). The 10 hours can be completed during the festival or Pre/Post Festival. Shifts are 5-hours each or a full day. We rely on our volunteers to help make LEAF the great festival that it is.

STAR VOLUNTEERS are a step between a 10- hour volunteer and staff. They do 20-hours volunteer work in exchange for their weekend ticket that includes overnight tent camping plus more benefits such as meals and guest passes. Star Volunteers may have more responsibility and it is a great opportunity to get more involved.
