Al Edwards Juneteenth Freedom Festival Volunteer Form

Volunteer with us to make this event successful. We greatly appreciate your time and willingness to serve. 

1. Parade lineup assistants

Assist with getting cars/trucks/floats lined up by the number they have received. 

2. Set-Up

There’s a lot of preparation that goes into setting up our festival. While there will likely be vendors and staff coming in to get everything ready, we may need a team of volunteers on hand to help set up the locations of tents, concession stands, and more. These volunteers should be physically fit and able to direct people in the right direction in order to get the venue set for the festival. 

3. Cleanup and Break Down

There are a lot of cleanups that go into cleaning up and breaking down our festival. These volunteers should be physically fit and able to get our festival grounds in a decent position. 

4. VIP Assistants

Help set up VIP section. Make sure the VIP are in the right location throughout the day.

5. First Aid

This is a specialized position, and the volunteers in question should be trained and certified in CPR and first aid. Because this is an all-day outdoor festival, the first aid volunteers could be treating scratches or sunburns, and in the event of an emergency, they can keep the situation under control and get the necessary help.

6. Food Server

During our community feeding from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, the food server will assist with the feeding/food committee by placing food on plates.  It is often better to over-staff this to help manage the lines and keep things running smoothly.

7. Stagehand

Stagehands will help backstage and provide the artist with everything they need. Stagehand volunteers can assist with everything from tech and stage set-up to running errands required to make the show go off without a hitch.

Two stages: Adult and Youth

8. Runner/Floater

We are going to forget something. It happens. Runners can fill in the gaps or even take over the role of a no-show volunteer. Ensuring that when an issue arises, you have a team to help deal with it quickly. Communication will be discussed once volunteers are signed up. 

9. Parking Team

Direct traffic and assist with parking. These volunteers should ensure that your parking facility is used most efficiently and safely as possible.
