Volunteer applications are now closed for the 2023 festival. We may still be searching for volunteers in particular areas, and may open the application again later. Please get in touch with the Volunteer Program Manager if you would like to be notified if the application process re-opens, or if you would like to volunteer in the following areas: Stage Crew, Security.
The regular volunteer commitment is usually about 12 hours (distributed across the 3 days of the festival or across pre- and post-festival days), 18+ hours for crew chiefs, and 30+ hours for coordinators. Crew chiefs are usually experienced volunteers selected by Coordinators. Crew chiefs/Coordinators are responsible for scheduling all volunteers. You may read our Volunteer Screening Policy and Volunteer Placement Policy before applying to be a Hillside volunteer.
Returning volunteers also need to apply through the form. Volunteers aged 13-17 must submit a Guardian Consent Form and a Volunteer Camping Form. Please download, fill out, and submit these signed forms through the Volunteer Application Form. Please make sure you have access to your résumé (or document with a short paragraph outlining your skills, interests, and experience) and signed consent forms (if applicable) before beginning. Thank you for offering us your time and talents.
