| Interested
in volunteering at Sisters Folk Festival? Here's how: |
We've got several great volunteering opportunities
throughout the year. The main ones are:
The Sisters Folk Festival;
a 3-day music festival at multiple venues around town, the weekend after
Labor Day every year (about 130 volunteers).
My Own Two Hands; a community arts event in and
for the Community of Sisters, Oregon (about 50 volunteers).
Winter Concert Series; three concerts in the winter
months to remind us all that life goes on, even when we're freezing our
butts off (around 10 volunteers for each show). |

for the Sisters Folk Festival |
| The Sisters
Folk Festival is our premier event of the year. Positions range from
hustling gear around to the various venues to running cash registers
to door security. |
Volunteers who donate their time for two or more four-hour shifts
will receive an All Events Pass (an $85 value) for themselves
for the weekend.
Returning volunteers get first dibs at
all positions. This year our Volunteer Coordinator was Ann Richardson, of Sisters
Outdoor Quilt Show fame, and she did an excellent job of
filling all the positions and orchestrating all the volunteers. Some "Super Volunteer" positions
are available, let us know if you'd like to take on more
responsibility, and we'll see if there's a fit. Let us know any areas
of expertise you have. If you are proficient with credit card machines
and cash registers, we want to know. Let us know also if you can handle
heavy lifting or standing for long periods of time. We can usually
find positions that accommodate all kinds of situations. If you have
an alcohol server's license, please mention it in your email or phone
call. As a volunteer, you will be greeting and dealing with the public,
a task which requires many warm smiles and kind words (does this fit
your personality?). In general, you will make sure each Festival Attendee
has a pass or ticket, check backpacks for items not allowed, and other
positions as assigned.

Remember,
volunteers represent the Sisters Folk Festival. If remaining sober
and polite during your shifts does not interest you, volunteering
is not for you. If greeting and helping Festival Attendees
does seem like something you want to do, then volunteering
is for you. We want friendly, smiling folks only, thank
you! Thank
you for your interest and willingness to participate in
the Sisters Folk Festival. If you have any questions or
would like to sign up to volunteer, please contact the
Festival office at 541.549.4979 or via email at volunteers@sistersfolkfestival.org
