What does a Sun Valley Jazz & Music Festival volunteer do?
Volunteers are the back-bone of the festival! Without them we could not do what we do. Most volunteers fill the role of Site Host at the many musical venues. Our stronger volunteers help with facility and band setups. Others serve as drivers for the shuttle van for the bands and musicians, answer phones in the communications room, check-in jazz fans at Sales & Will Call or extend cheerful greetings and directions as a Lobby Greeter.
How much time during the Jazz & Music Festival does a volunteer work?
Volunteers serve 12 hours total during the five-day Jazz event.
When would I have to be in Sun Valley?
All volunteers report on Wednesday, October 16th, 2019.
What expenses would I have?
Each assigned volunteer receives the All Events Badge that admits them to any musical event throughout the week. Volunteers reserve and pay for their own lodging arrangements, as well as meals and other expenses. New volunteers must purchase the official teal-colored SV Jazz & Music Festival volunteer shirt that is worn with appropriate slacks, trousers or a skirt.
