Absolutely. Give us a call at 780-409-1922 and one of the volunteer department staff can talk you through the online application. We do receive a high volume of calls so if you’re able to apply online we would ask that you give it a try first.

Outside of the Festival, the volunteer department is based in the ATB Financial Arts Barns, 10330 84th Avenue, T6E 2G9.

The volunteer department receives a high volume of applications in the run up to the Festival and it takes us time to process and approve all 1,200+ applications! We aim to approve your application within two weeks from the date of submission – your patience is greatly appreciated!

When you submit your initial application for the festival you should receive an automated email message instantly with more information. If you have completed your form and clicked “submit” but have NOT received that initial email, let us know! We can confirm if your application has been received and is in our system for processing. Contact us at volunteers@fringetheatre.ca or 780-409-1922 for more information.

Once your application has been approved by the volunteer department it will be passed to one of our Volunteer Team Leaders. They are your main point of contact for scheduling. If you are having any problems with self-scheduling, please call or email them for assistance. If you don’t know your Team Leaders contact information, give us a call at 780-409-1922 or email us at volunteers@fringetheatre.ca for more information.

We ask support workers/aide organizations to complete an individual application for each of their clients. There is a section where you can provide more information on the individual volunteer’s needs and preferences.

Yes! As our Festival continues to evolve and change, so do our volunteer teams. This year our Ambassadors, Beer Tents, and Front of House Teams have made some changes. Please check out the teams’ description for more information.

All volunteers are required to submit a new application each year and teams are filled on a first come basis. We do not hold spots on teams for former volunteers. If you would like to volunteer on the same team as last year, we recommend submitting an application as soon as possible to secure your spot.

Volunteers are welcome to apply to any team, as long as they meet the team-specific requirements. If you would like to switch to a different team this year, all you need to do is complete the application form for the team you’d like to join.
