ABOUT THE APPLICATION: All methods of volunteer application
are organized into three sections to aid in your telling us what
type of job you would like to do, and when you would like to work.
You will need to use all three sections to complete it.
About You - this section asks for your contact information
(name, address, phone, etc.), your volunteer experience and any
special skills.
Job Descriptions -
this section tells the names of all the available jobs during
the Festival and a brief
description of each, including any special skills required.
Job Shifts (Days
and Times) - this section gives the duration
of shifts available for each type of job. Please note that
this information is based on all of the jobs available at the
start of volunteer recruitment. By the time you submit your application,
some shifts may already be filled.
COMPLETING THE APPLICATION: Following the three sections
of the application, there are essentially three steps to completing
it.
First, tell us your name and how to reach you. It is
common that we will need to contact you to finalize your job
assignment so be sure to give us a way to call or e-mail you
questions. This will allow us to more effectively assign you
a job of your liking.
Second, review the Job
Descriptions to find a job or jobs that interests you.
Please select several different jobs you would like to do in
case your first choice is already filled.
Third, review the Job
Shifts to see when you might want to do your job. Note
that some jobs are marked "DOUBLE SHIFT" because
they require 8-10 hours of work (most are Setup AND Teardown
jobs for which the volunteer is required to work both). One
job (PARKING LOT CREW) counts as a DOUBLE SHIFT since it is
working in the sun and dirt. You will need to select several
choices and rank them first, second and third (in the first
column of the Job Shifts section on the hardcopy forms, and
by making three separate selections on the on-line form).
Finally, return your completed application to CTMS (mail the application to
the address above). Once your job assignment is finalized, you
will receive a packet in the mail containing your contract (a
copy to keep, one to sign and return), and instructions and a
map for training.
