The Vancouver International Children's Festival is returning this spring with a live Festival, on Granville Island May 27–June 2, 2024.
We are starting to recruit volunteers! And we wish to invite your students to volunteer for the Children's Festival, thereby gaining valuable skills and experience while fulfilling their Work Experience curriculum requirements. Students interested in Hospitality, Tourism, Event Management, Arts, Performance, or Childhood Education are particularly encouraged to apply, but there are positions at every level. Volunteers can sign up now on our website for a minimum two-shift (14 hr) commitment.
We are especially interested in onboarding a few Key Volunteers right away, who can begin working within your school to recruit and screen more volunteers. KVs generally work around 20 hrs in advance of the Festival, and then transition into Crew Captain roles onsite during the Festival. Serving as a KV and/or Crew Captain provides very strong leadership and communications experience, plus being creative and fun. Any Volunteer who completes over 30 hrs of service will receive a personal reference letter from the Festival.
If you know of any students who are keen, outgoing, and well-organised, who you think might be strong KV candidates, please forward their contacts to me and/or encourage them to go to the childrensfestival.ca website for more info and to submit an application.
To apply to be a Key Volunteers you must:
We are accepting regular volunteer applications until May 1st
