Under the Volcano Volunteer Positions

Before the Festival

Publicity:  Equip yourself with staples, wheatpaste, or your adhesive of
choice and blitz your neighbourhood. Go to festivals and concerts and
leaflet. Help distro the program around the neighbourhood.

Set Up:  Sat Aug 6th 2005. Help set up booths, paint signs and get the
park ready for the festival, or come early the morning of and help us.

During the Festival

Gates:  Stand at the gates, take money, greet all the pretty people. Work
it sugar, Under the Volcano relies on donations to exist.

Info Table:  Sit the shade and answer questions. Questions like: When is
the last bus? What band is on stage right now? Where are the workshops?
Also includes directing incoming volunteers to their stations. This shift
will start and end 15 mins. before all other shifts. You will be equipped
with information and walkie talkies. You will feel smart and powerful.

Children’s Area:  Play with kids! Art! Sports! Fun! Sign up quick, this
area always fills up first!

Security:  Feel tough, be tough, but peace sister, no rough stuff.

Parking:  Direct cars to empty parking spaces, chastise single occupancy
vehicles, get to say “No, your other left, sir.”

Food:  Feed volunteers, munch on stuff when people aren’t looking.
Recycling:  ‘Cuz it’s better than taking out the trash.


After the Festival

Take Down: Break down the stages, pick up garbage. More fun than you might
think. We usually go back the next day and can provide rides if you need
one.
