Volunteers
Why volunteer with the Festival? It’s an opportunity to have fun through helping to make the arts available to all. Volunteers who help at Festival events receive a free t-shirt, free stand-by seating to ticketed events, invitation to the volunteer picnic in July, and other free gifts.

Changes to Volunteer Operating Procedures for 2020
- Every volunteer must submit a new application for each year so that CFA has the latest contact, t-shirt size and demographic information.
- New volunteer positions available – Event Coordinator, Team Leads, and Data Analyst. Contact Susan@ColumbiaFestival.com if interested.
- On-line and classroom training options.
- Revised Volunteer Procedures and Guidelines coming soon.

How to Volunteer
The first step is to complete the application. This is very short survey to collect information on how to contact you, your interests, and your past experience with the Festival. You will then be contacted as volunteer needs arise.
