Volunteer | Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival



	GET INVOLVED: Volunteer Become a Sponsor Internship

Every year, the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival enlists the help of dedicated individuals to assist with Festival programs. The Festival is indebted to the many volunteers that participate—without their support, The Film Festival would not be possible! Volunteers are the heart and soul of JHWFF.

Volunteer Qualifications
Ideal volunteers may possess any or all of the following qualifications:
• Ability to coordinate the flow of information among the festival staff.
• Possess an excellent manner & can-do attitude.
• Superior organizational skills.
• Confidence.
• Fearlessness in the face of temperamental office equipment.
• Ability to anticipate change and simply love to facilitate others.
• Computer skills.
• Experience in set design or set building.
• Technical skills associated with sound, lighting and multi-format video projection systems.
• Stamina and staying power.

Event Volunteers donate hours throughout the Festival held in the fall. In return for your volunteer efforts at the Festival, you will have access to seminars, panel discussions, and film viewings subject to your volunteer schedule. For the Film Festival, preference is given to those volunteers that are able to commit full-time hours throughout the event. Full-time volunteers are also eligible for lodging.

Volunteers will be needed for a variety of functions, including tech support, venue operations, special events, registration, set-up, and pre-production. Full-time, part-time, one day, many days . . . our needs are varied and flexible. The work is demanding, but the rewards are many. Many volunteers return, year after year, looking forward to the camaraderie that develops among the staff and volunteers.

Office Volunteers donate their time throughout the year, helping with pre-event preparations and a variety of interesting projects. These volunteers sign-up for hours when they are available—a great opportunity for one who is not readily available during the Festival. Office Volunteers also have the opportunity to participate in Festival events and screenings, based on the amount of time they contribute.
