Volunteers – We Want You!!

By Comms Crew on December 1, 2011

Corinteers hard at work in the Vollie Kitchen

From the smiling people who greet you at the Festival gate, to the bar staff, the rangers – everywhere you turn at Corin’, you’ll find a Corinteer! They’re the heart and soul of any festival and we like to think that our Corinteers are the best you’ll ever find.

But our vollie family isn’t big enough – we want you!!  We’re looking for new smiling faces to join our crew!
Why should you join the team?  Well don’t just ask us, here’s Mick, a volunteer for the first time in 2010 to tell his story.
“I put my name down to volunteer at the event late last year assuming that I would have little chance of actually doing it. Not only did I get a chance to volunteer, I was assigned to the Rangers & Communication team which involves roaming the site, checking everything is churning along okr and generally being the eyes and ears on the ground for the organisers and comms team. 
At the core of this festival is a team of passionate people that invest a massive amount of time, effort, sweat and love into making it happen. I was glad to be able to contribute a tiny amount of my time to helping it happen this year, but these guys live and breathe the festival for most of the year. The positive vibe and smiling faces of people are the payback for all the hard work.You see familiar faces all weekend and by the Sunday night you feel like everyone’s your friend.

 

I went to the festival by myself and only knew about 3 or 4 other people going. I pitched a tent by myself. I usually ate by myself and I generally walked around by myself, but everytime I sat down at a performance or a table to eat I managed to strike up a convo with someone and got to hear some great stories and chat about the festival.  Being a ‘Corinteer’ I met some really great fellow volunteers as well as getting to hang with some of the organisers on the Sunday night.

This was a huge highlight as I got to see some of what makes a festival like this tick and to share in the passion of creating something that thousands of people enjoy.  I can’t wait to do it all again next year”

So what are you waiting for? We can’t wait to meet you! Head on over to our Volunteer page for more information or if you’re convinced APPLY NOW!

    [...] But apart from THAT – as a Corinteer myself, I can give you the inside word that the music and arts program is shaping up to be freaking awesome. Read more about it here, buy tickets here and hey, while we’re at it, you could even volunteer for the festival yourself here! [...]
