Volunteers at the Ossipee Valley Music Festival are the backbone of our festival. Have you got the skeletal fortitude to be part of our crew?
If you can work in an environment filled with music and fun and maintain your head while other’s around you are dancing and joyfully having a real good time then you’ve got what it takes to become an OVM volunteer.

Volunteer Criteria and Rebate:

Must be 18 years or older.

Those who complete six hours of service will be reimbursed for the cost of their weekend ticket. And, thanked profusely.

Please submit an application with your top three preference areas noted. Let us know your availability and any strengths that will help us place you in the right position.  

Assignments, duties and hours are subject to last minute change based on the needs of the festival.

We need your help in the following areas

Getting the word out:
If you’re handy with a push pin or staple gun this is the job for you. Send us your mailing address and the amount of flyers and posters you can distribute and the area you will be distributing in and we’ll send you a parcel of work to do. This equals 2 hours of festival volunteer time. You will be required to complete a 4 hour shift at the festival too.

Front Gate:
This involves being on the front line with lots of sparkly personality a sense of fun, not to mention at times a bucket load of patience. You will be taking tickets and giving out information and helping out as needed in other areas.

Set up and breakdown:
This involves a real strong backbone. The grounds are transformed in just a week. Stage set up, tent setup, general clean up, trash can placement and signage are the bulk of the work.

Breakdown starts Sunday night and must be completed by Wednesday morning after the festival. There’s always some amount of pizza and swimming involved during this time!

Trash removal and other crappy jobs:
Trash cans must be emptied and relined throughout the festival and bath houses need cleaning. If you sign up for this one you get the added perk of shorter shifts.

Stagehands:
We have three stages that need support. This involves assisting stage managers and bands.

T-shirt sales and information booth:
This is a multitasking position, selling t-shirts and selling the idea of our nonprofit to new members.

Drivers:
On occasion we need drivers to run errands and pickup bands.  This requires a van size mobile and a valid license.

Security:
You need to be in better shape than the average shuffle board player. Security volunteers must have good manners and ask the same of attendees. Please indicate if you are an insomniac and willing to do the ever popular 12am to 6am shift.

Misc:
This is the position for anyone who enjoys being used and abused by last minute errands and stuff no one else wants to do. These volunteers may also be used as floaters to fulfill jobs of those who are absent.
