Breakdown consists of assisting Green Festival staff with breaking down the box office, food court, lounges, signage, stores, green team and other show management areas of the festival on Sunday evening. A large part of breakdown is assisting with the Green Team and ensuring that we reach our sustainability goals.
Helping to lift heavy items can be involved. Thank you for helping us late into the night! -
Green Team members help educate Green Festival’s attendees about what we are doing and why we are doing it. You are critical in the communication line and in making sure that each can (compost, recycling, mixed paper, and landfill) stay 100% uncontaminated. You are here to make sure everything goes in the proper can, therefore ensuring a high resource recovery rate and to reduce sorting in the back-of-the-house. Training will be provided.

These volunteers will receive training on the layout of the Fair and programs to distribute as needed. Answering questions, pointing people in the right direction, and finding the necessary staff are the duties.
We'll provide the training and the programs...you bring the smile! -
Share ideas and use a gentle hand to keep kids in line. Parents are required to be in attendance, so this is just another set of watchful eyes to make sure everyone is safe and friendly. Recycled materials will be provided...don't worry, it's all good, clean fun.
A love and children and no aversion to messiness. -
Are you flexible and willing to help wherever we are in a pinch? Volunteers scheduled as miscellaneous will assist Green Festival staff where needed, and must be very flexible and ready to do anything!
Please be prepared to run errands or fill in wherever we need volunteers at the time. -
Parking attendants will collect daily fees in exchange for passes and turn in collections to the Box Office at regular intervals.
This is an “on-your-feet” and “in-the-sun” position. -
Setup volunteers will assist staff with preparing for the event on Thursday and Friday. Tasks include creating and placing signage (includes the use of some simple tools), setting up registration areas, distributing event magazines and materials for partners, setting up greening stations and signage, and preparing different areas in the fairgrounds.
Please note that setup often involves heavy lifting! If you are not comfortable with heavy lifting, you should choose another volunteer position.
