LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN, TOGETHER.
The Wild Roses Festival is built on community and collection vision. We are so grateful to all who apply to be apart of our team to make this magical weekend come to fruition.
Our Volunteer leads lovingly refer to our support team as 'VolunSTARS'! We weave together as a micro community that supports, uplifts, and work towards creating a beautiful, seamless gathering experience for us all.
What we're looking for
Volunteer positions on our team are offered in exchange for 14 hours (2 seven hour shifts) for all volunteer benefits described below. (With the exception of First Aid who offer 1 x 24 hour shift of on call support).
Here is a bit more about each position available for volunteers:
Festival + Decor Set Up Crew | POSITIONS FULL
(Wednesday & Thursday Shift):
Taking place 2 days before the festival begins, you will help our team behind the scenes to make the Wild Rose Village come to life! This is a physically demanding position. You must be detail orientated, be able to work in any weather, and are able to lift 50lbs. You are welcome to stay over and camp with us on both nights!
Festival Check In Crew & Support | POSITIONS FULL
(Thursday & Friday Shift):
These are exciting days as we welcome hundreds of women onto the land for check in! You are also the first faces that attendees see as they enter. We are looking for high energy, kind, inclusive humans to help support us in our check in process and help everyone get acclimated and settled into the land. The ideal candidate for this role has already attended WRF in the past. In this position, you will also be lending a helping hand keeping the festival grounds tidy and looking beautiful.
Festival Support (Friday & Saturday Shift) | POSITIONS FULL
Help us keep the event running smooth! These shifts will involve some check in for last minute guests, as well as working the information booth, and keeping the festival grounds sparkling and tidy.
Festival Support + Take Down Crew (Sunday & Monday Shift):
Help us wrap things up and close the container of magic. In this position, you will be required to work the information booth, as well as help us with take down on Sunday after closing ceremony, as well as Monday. Our take down positions are physically demanding, so be prepared to move your body, work in any weather, and be able to lift 50lbs. You are welcome to stay over and camp with us overnight on Sunday!
In addition to these hours, we will also be hosting a one-hour online orientation meeting via zoom that we ask all confirmed volunteers to attend. (Date TBA).
Sound Crew | POSITIONS FULL
Join the Sound Team and help create a smooth audio experience for festival presenters and performers! Some comfort with sound equipment is recommended, but we will provide training on how to run the system. Responsibilities include assisting presenters with connecting their devices via Bluetooth and providing a headset mic. You will offer light tech support by adjusting sound levels as needed. This role is perfect for those with an eagerness to learn and the passion to help create a seamless audio experience for workshops and performances!
First Aid | POSITIONS FULL
A first aider at the Wild Roses Festival plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of all attendees. Working on one 24hr on call shift during the festival, they are responsible for providing immediate and efficient care to individuals who may experience injuries or medical issues during the event. This includes administering basic first aid, assessing the severity of conditions, and deciding whether further medical attention is needed. First aiders also monitor the health and safety conditions at the festival, responding quickly to emergencies and coordinating with emergency medical services when necessary. Additionally, they provide information and guidance on health and safety measures to festival-goers, helping to prevent accidents and ensure everyone enjoys the event safely.
Wild Roses Cafe
Our newest positions take place in the Wild Roses Cafe! We are looking for high energy, detail orientated, friendly and outgoing dynamic duos (think a pair of besties, or a mother daughter duo!) to help us run the cafe. Your primary roles will be to brew and serve hot coffee and cold brew, as well as taking cash-free payments. This is a fast paced role that requires you to be on your feet providing outstanding customer service akin to the Wild Roses brand. Customer service and hospitality experience is an asset for this role. Please note, we only have 2 spots for two duos on our team. Please fill out ONE application for the both of you and don't forget to share your customer service/hospitality experience with us. We will be conducting interviews with selected applicants and look forward to working with you!
