The 2025 Hillside Volunteer Program application is now open! The application will close March 31st or sooner if we reach our targets. Submit yours while spots last.
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 leads, and 30+ hours for coordinators. Crew leads are usually experienced volunteers selected by Coordinators. Crew leads/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. 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.
