Volunteers

The changes to the 2020 Festival of Trees format means we won't require as many volunteers as usual. In our typical in-person format, it takes over 250 volunteers to operate the Festival of Trees! Regardless of the format, we couldn't host the Festival of Trees without the incredible support of volunteers, so... thanks! You're amazing! 

We have a core committee that plans year-round and many sub-committees including sponsorship, construction, decorating, raffles and more. ​If you're interested in volunteering throughout the year, please contact us. 

Requirements

  • Volunteers must be 15 years and older
  • We happily accommodate school, work or service group volunteer programs

  • Volunteers 18+ who deal with the public, handle cash, or are in a position of authority or trust relative to vulnerable persons are required to complete a criminal record check
  • Volunteers are required to abide by our Code of Conduct
