Volunteers under 18 must have a Risk and Release form signed by their parent or guardian. EVENT FLOATER DURING FESTIVAL - Floaters will need to be completely flexible and willing to take on any role needed. You will fill in where we do not have volunteer coverage or join the volunteer team where additional assistance is needed. Of most importance, you will be covering any gaps in the author and venue related roles. Floaters may be asked to give volunteers breaks. They may also be asked to help host the Volunteer or Author lounges, among many other possible roles. Key to this role is flexibility, ability to learn quickly, responsible, and willingness to find assigned staff members to resolve any questions. Court-Ordered Community Service volunteers are NOT accepted for this role. This position requires a high degree of personal responsibility. To be most effective in fulfilling these tasks, you should be familiar with the sessions, authors and all locations in the festival venue. Be prepared to answer general questions about the festival and be familiar with the festival FAQs (these will be provided during training). In-person or online training is required for this role. Please sign up to attend one training session. When moving into break out sessions, please attend the Author-Related part of the training. VOLUNTEER LOUNGE ASSISTANT - Volunteer Lounge Assistants will help to welcome, check in, and direct volunteers to their appropriate supervisor or area of work. You will help keep the food and beverages stocked and the space organized and tidy. You will troubleshoot volunteer questions and concerns, and you will also have the list of lead staff and volunteers so you can reach them if necessary. You may also be asked to help refill water at each venue for the author. Volunteers in this role need to be easy going, detail oriented and flexible. In-person or online training is required for this role. Please sign up to attend one training session. LOGISTICS VOLUNTEER: As the Logistics Volunteer, your role will be to manage a festival logistics and transportation table for festival speakers and delegates. This table will be right next to the festival registration area. The focus of this role will be to provide support to festival speakers and delegates with the afternoon and evening shuttles, which will transport them to their hotel and evening reception venue. You will need to be in communication with the Hotel Usher festival staff via phone to stay up to date on shuttle arrival time, and coordinate with the Author Liaison volunteers and share information about author arrival and departures as needed. For this role, you must feel comfortable using your phone to communicate with other festival coordinators and ideally be able to download the WhatsApp app for communication among the team. Volunteers in this role need to be relaxed and good with people, comfortable talking with and assisting different authors, speakers, and other volunteers and staff, detail oriented, and willing to be flexible. In-person or online training is required for this role. Please sign up to attend one training session. **All Volunteers are required to attend a training session. Click the link below to sign up.**
