VOLUNTEER
Want to volunteer for the WJFF this
year? We'd love to have you join us! Each year, over 100 volunteers
make the WJFF happen by doing everything from stuffing envelopes and taking
tickets to escorting guests and staffing special events.
VOLUNTEER BENEFITS
As a Festival volunteer, you are part of fun,
friendly community of film-lovers and other people who know that for 11 days in
December, the WJFF is the place to be.
>Free 21st WJFF t-shirt - When you
arrive for your first volunteer shift, you will be given a WJFF T-shirt. It is
yours to keep, but please be sure to wear your T-shirt at all times when
you are volunteering.
>For every full shift that you work as a
volunteer, you are eligible for 1 ticket to see a film of your choice. There
are five tickets set aside for each film for volunteers
excluding Opening and Closing Nights and sold-out screenings.
Volunteers must reserve one of the five spaces at least 48 hours
in advance by emailing the date, time and name of the requested film
to volunteer@wjff.org.
Please keep this benefit in mind when selecting the shifts you want
to work. You may not see the film that is screening during the shift that you
are working. Click here for complete instructions for reserving volunteer comp
tickets.
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR
VOLUNTEER SHIFTS
Most WJFF volunteers work in Theater
Operations as ushers, ticket takers, at will call tables, directing our
patrons and selling t-shirts. To select your Theater Operations
volunteer shift(s), please begin by clicking below on the date you'd like
to work. This will lead you to all the available shifts for the
chosen day. In our online system, signing up for your shift will look
like you are buying a ticket for that date, time and place, but there is no
cost. You can select one or more volunteer shifts each day, but only for
one person at a time. Return to this Volunteer page to select
volunteer shifts for another day or another person. PLEASE REMEMBER: Volunteers often do not see
films during their shifts, so do NOT sign up for shifts during times of
films you definitely want to see.
