(RED LETTERS MEAN WE NEED ASSISTANCE)

There are many opportunities to volunteer for the show and they can be enjoyable and rewarding experiences.  There are also Core Staff Positions that require you to be involved at some level prior to the show and/or for an extended amount of time.  Each Core Staff Position is a two-year commitment; the first year is as an apprentice and then the following year as the lead. 

You can learn more about volunteering opportunities by reading the position descriptions below.  Another excellent way to get details is to contact ask the person that has volunteered in years past or by contacting the volunteer coordinator or a board member.
