Jumpers and Jazz in July is fast approaching and the team are seeking a strong community-led volunteer base to help make the festival possible.
Jumpers and Jazz volunteer committee president Nancy DePrada said the festival would not exist without dedicated volunteers putting their shoulders to the wheel.
“We are very keen to invite festival lovers to get involved,” Nancy said.
“It takes a wide variety of skills to bring the magic festival vibe each year, from setting up the street to contacting stall holders and supporting our sponsors.”
Moreover, Nancy said she would like to have a chat with potential volunteers to explore the role that fits them best.
“Individuals, friends, community groups, or couples working together are welcome to consider how they may be able to contribute,” she said.
“Each volunteer role is fully supported by the festival committee every step along the way.”
The aim of the volunteer base is to spread around the love and engage more people with specific skills.
For example, a person interested in local produce may volunteer with the Celebration of Local Flavours team to secure local producer stallholders for the event.
For those who enjoy communicating and supporting people, there are also vacancies for an individual or team to research and follow up on food vendors required for festival events.
They would also support festival sponsors to ensure they are receiving full benefits before, during and after the event.
Creative thinkers may enjoy putting together festival merchandise or creating innovative ways to bring revenue streams directly to the festival bank.
This allows Jumpers and Jazz to continue presenting its renowned, first-class experience for the thousands of visitors that frequent the Warwick region in July.
There are many other opportunities that suit different skills and personalities.
As a result, if you are interested in volunteering for any of these roles or simply have spare time to offer, please email volunteers@jumpersandjazz.com.au or pick up a volunteer registration form from Warwick’s Visitor Information Centre.
