*NEW! We’re hosting our first-ever Volunteer Fair to kick off National Volunteer Week on Sunday, April 19, from 12 (noon) – 4PM at the Fringe Grounds Café! Learn more here.
Choose Your Team!
The first step to becoming a Fringe Volunteer is choosing a team. We have 11 Volunteer teams to choose from that each support a different aspect of Festival. Follow the links to find out more about each team, the qualifications required, and to apply.
We ask that Volunteers choose a single team to join so they can become experts in a certain area of the Festival. The one exception is the Host Team. Volunteers are welcome to join the Host Team (which does not have traditional shifts during Festival), and one additional team. There may be opportunities for Volunteers to pick up shifts on other teams during Fringe.
