Volunteer Tasks

Volunteers are required to work a minimum 4 hour shift. All volunteers are encouraged to enjoy the concert’s headliner, but please note that some jobs require at least one volunteer to be present and volunteers may take turns watching the performance.

As a benefit of completing your shift, volunteers are given snacks, drinks, onsite parking and reserved seats during the concert. In addition, regardless of the time that your shift is scheduled, all volunteers are asked to help collect donations at intermission, known as the “bucket brigade.”

Onsite donation collection supports the festival and gives a chance to interact with the audience. As an ambassador of Stern Grove Festival, you are a huge part of their success.
