Shakori Hills Fall '24 Volunteer Application

The GrassRoots Festival is a non-profit organization, which raises money for arts, education, and other area non-profits. It is the intent of the organization to create a free, relaxed and open community during the event. It does this by operating almost completely through the effort of over 500 volunteers! As a volunteer, in addition to putting smiles on festival faces, you also receive a 4-Day pass. We also invite volunteers to work four hours on single days if they don't plan to attend the whole weekend. A 4-Day pass is earned when you work 12 hours during the Festival, or 14 hours prior to the Festival. Are you a night owl who wouldn't mind working your volunteer shifts at night? Sign up for just TWO harder-to-fill late night shifts (instead of three) to earn a weekend pass. OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE: Green Team (4-8) Security/Gates (9-midnight) Parking (8-midnight) Remember, no matter how many shifts you sign up for, they all must be on the same crew. Quick Facts: 12 hours of volunteering = 4-day pass (or, three 4-hour shifts at the festival). 14 hours of volunteering for setup or breakdown – 4-day pass (or, two 7-hour shifts before or after the festival, plus a shift meal on the days you work). Consumption, or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol is prohibited during volunteer shifts. Violation of this policy will result in immediate removal from volunteering for the weekend and render one ineligible to volunteer at future Shakori Hills Festivals or events. Thank you for Volunteering! We couldn’t do it without you!
