Welcome to Green Festival™ Volunteer Registration!
VOLUNTEER
REGISTRATION FOR SEATTLE IS CLOSED.
The Seattle Green Festival™ will be Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29, 2009 at The Washington State Trade and Convention Center! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you at the event and want to thank you in advance for volunteering with Green Festivals™!
Volunteers are the life line of Green Festivals™ and would not be possible without the tremendous dedications of our new and returning volunteers. In 2008, the Seattle Green Festival will have more than 1,000 volunteers contribute to the festival. Thank you!
Volunteers are asked to commit to at least one 4.5-5 hour shift, but are encouraged to volunteer for more than one shift. Please keep in mind that volunteering at the festival can be tiring and try not to over commit for the weekend! We recommend that in most cases you do not volunteer for more than three shifts.
What are the benefits of volunteering?
- Free access into the festival for the entire weekend.
- An exclusive organic cotton staff t-shirt
- Free/optional memberships to Global Exchange and Green America (the co-founders of Green Festivals™)-new members only.
- 10% discount at the Green Festival Store and Global Exchange Store.
- An amazing networking opportunity and a fun and rewarding experience!
Are there any restrictions I should know about?
- Volunteers under 12 are not permitted to volunteer. Volunteers between 12-16 must volunteer with a parent, guardian or adult over the age of 18. If you are a minor coming to volunteer on your own (age 12-18) you must bring a signed minor waiver with you to the festival in order to volunteer. Click on the following link to download the waiver: https://greenfestival.box.net/shared/static/cpd8f7pqdq.pdf
- Volunteers who are hearing impaired, deaf, or handicapped are encouraged to volunteer. If you have questions or concerns about what volunteer positions will suite your needs best, please contact us.
- Thank you for being a part of our amazing team of volunteers!

authentic than the hotel/hostel circuit and interested in meeting
like-minded individuals? Some volunteers have had success with
CouchSurfing.com, an international cultural exchange network connecting
global travelers with members of local communities, who offer free
accommodation, a more personal experience with their city and/or advice.
