We will have several “area specific” meetings which will serve as orientation and safety training. All volunteers are required to attend these meetings as a great deal of information will be covered. Meeting times will be announced. Feedback at this time is also welcomed!
AirFEST is also seeking volunteers during the two-week period prior to the festival to assist in grounds set-up and signage placement, and the week following the festival to assist in teardown.
