Volunteering with One Reel is Awesome!
Interested in volunteering for One Reel? We have opportunities at Bumbershoot, the Chase Family 4th, in our office, and at other special events! All volunteers have the opportunity to earn tickets to Bumbershoot and other perks like limited-edition t-shirts, special hospitality areas, and more!
To sign up, simply fill out our application form. Once your application has been approved, you’ll have the opportunity to join specific teams at each event that match your interests and skill set.
Signups, scheduling, and confirmations are done on the web, using Shiftboard, our awesome new system! Feel free to call us too so we can still help you find volunteer shifts.
So, apply now, get involved, and help make art happen.
Who can volunteer? Our volunteer opportunities are many and varied. No matter what your interest or activity level, we have something you will enjoy. We have only a few simple guidelines to determine eligibility to volunteer:
- Be at least 16 years of age. Anyone under 16 must have parental permission and be accompanied by an adult
- Complete an application
- Be willing to work with a team, and often with the public
- Attend a training session or orientation specific to your position and/or event. We appreciate your participating in trainings– they help us match you better to an experience you will enjoy!
Benefits of Volunteering:
Each volunteer position offers its own unique rewards. Volunteering at One
Reel is an opportunity to meet people who share your love of festivals, the arts,
community service, close work with dedicated professionals, and teamwork all
while enjoying great music and art.
Event volunteers are normally invited to stay and enjoy the event after their volunteer shift is over (this includes Summer Nights, Bumbershoot, and the Family Fourth fireworks).
Volunteer shifts that do not fall on show days have a variety of options, often including earning Bumbershoot tickets through hours worked. Make sure to tell the Volunteer Coordinator when you sign up for a non-show day shift that you would like to put your hours toward Bumbershoot tickets.
