Group Volunteers.

Volunteers play a big role in the success of CVP. In exchange for your volunteer shift, you get free admission to enjoy the rest of PRIDEFEST outside of your volunteer time commitment! We're looking for GROUPS of 4-6 people from area businesses and organizations who wish to show their support and gain some visibility by volunteering as a group. You can wear your organization's t-shirts and have small information that can be handed out or available to pickup.

It'll be easy and fun. If you're at a gate, you'll be interacting with festival goers and your volunteer mates. Most tasks are easy like putting on wrist bands, accepting advance tickets, making change, and miscellaneous other tasks.
Typical timeslots for Groups:

Friday, August 26
  • 2:00 - 6:00 PM (groups of 4)
  • 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM  (groups of 4)
  • 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM (groups of 4)
  • 9:30 PM - 12:30 AM (groups of 4)
​
Saturday, August 27
  • 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM (groups of 4 or 6)
  • 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM (groups of 4 or 6)
  • 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM  (groups of 4 or 6)
  • 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM (groups of 4 or 6)
  • 9:30 PM - 12:30 AM​ (groups of 4 or 6)

​NOTE: 
We need you to be committed to this and ONLY sign-up if you are 100% confident that you can fill all 6 slots. If someone cancels on your team, we'll need you to find a replacement before the event. We encourage you to consider recruiting a back-up alternate.

CVP will determine your volunteer location and task. These groups typically volunteer at gates but can also be placed at Beer Tickets or some setup. Typically, unless your group is not a complete set of 6, groups will not be split up. Volunteers should be prepared to stand and/or walk during their 3-hour volunteer shift. Light setup and various tasks may require lifting up to 30 lbs. If you require special accommodation, please contact us.

Sounds like fun, right? 
If so, please complete the form below.

    Shifts and group volunteer opportunities are on a first-come, first-served basis. We will do our best to accommodate everyone's preferred timeslot and every group. Please pick your preferred timeslot and a second preference. We'll reach out as soon as we've locked one in for you.

    ​I agree that I will be responsible for my group and can be sure I will be able to recruit the number of volunteers needed for this shift. If someone cancels that I have signed up, I will find a replacement in advance. We encourage you to have an alternate on your list.

Some things you should know.

A few key details: 
  • First, thank you! We appreciate your help and support. We couldn't have this event without you. We know your time is valuable and you want to get on to having some fun too!
  • Secondly, the most important thing you can do for us is show up and on time at the KINGS & QUEENS GATE AT WASHINGTON! If you cannot make your scheduled time slot, please let us know immediately.
  • Third, please be sober​ and wait to indulge until after your shift.
  • Fourth, if everyone can check for wristbands that's a major help!
  • We always need a few extra volunteers from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Please encourage your friends to volunteer.

Your schedule was be emailed to you immediately as you signed up, and again the day before the event. 
If you did not receive it, please email us at cedarvalleypridefest@gmail.com.

Attending Pridefest:
Remember, as a volunteer you get into Pridefest for FREE with your shift. You can attend the festival early or after your shift. You will get a wristband when you enter at the Washington Gate -- Please check-in at the KINGS & QUEENS GATE at WASHINGTON when you arrive and they will get you a wristband. 

Checking In:
When it's time for your shift, check in at the INFORMATION & VOLUNTEER BOOTH at the WASHINGTON GATE. From there, the Information Staff will give you a volunteer badge and direct you where you need to go. Once you check in at your Volunteer Location, previous volunteers and CVP Committee Members will show you the ropes. Don't worry, it won't be too hard — and most of all, it will be fun!  

If It Rains - Pride Will Go On:
Although it won't rain on us, in the event that it does. Cedar Valley Pridefest will go on! So please SHOW UP and ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO AS WELL! We will still need your help, probably especially then!

TEAR DOWN:
As you can imagine, tearing down the event is a big under taking. We would appreciate anyone who is willing to help tear down the event (which generally includes moving things off the street and taking down fencing) to meet at the Information Booth at 12:00 midnight. Even just a few minutes of your time would really help us out!

Questions?

If you have questions on your volunteer schedule, location, etc. Please email us at cedarvalleypridefest@gmail.com. Please note that we have made every effort to accommodate volunteer station and work partners. If you gave us the option to put you in a couple different places, this assignment reflects the greatest need for your time. ​​
