Who Can Volunteer?
Everyone! And yes, that includes you. Every year, people make the trek to Dawson City from across 7he Yukon, Canada, and even travel internationally to help make their festival dreams a reality. We have something for everyone- there’s a crew perfect for your experience, age, and physical ability. We do our best to accommodate your needs and availability, ensuring that there’s something for everyone. Between July 17 and 19 we are looking for help in the merch booth, at the door, ushering, serving drinks, helping out in the kitchen, and more!
What is expected of me as a volunteer?
We require all volunteers to be reliable and responsible. You will be representing the festival and our community so we ask that you be polite, professional, sober, and courteous at all times. Please stay in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator, and your Committee Head before the festival – and of course, show up for your shifts!
Volunteer duties are divided into 5-hour shifts. You can choose to volunteer for one, two, three (or more) volunteer shifts. The more volunteer time you do, the more perks you get! Keep reading for more details.
