VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

Each year the Las Vegas International Film Festival brings together a dedicated team of volunteers to help ensure festival patrons and guests have the best film-going experience possible. In exchange, volunteers receive passes to all films, parties, special events and panel discussions and gain an exclusive, hands-on, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the festival in action. We are very grateful for the considerable contributions made by our volunteers and know that we could not present the festival without their hard work and dedication. For more information or a volunteer application please email info@lvfilmfest.com

VOLUNTEER FAQ

How many hours are we required to work?
The LVIFF asks that all volunteers work a minimum of 10 hours. This allows volunteers to get acquainted with their jobs and also qualifies them for a volunteer badge.

What do I need to do to volunteer?
All you need to do is fill out the Volunteer Application (email to request one). You must also attend a volunteer meeting prior to the Film Festival.

What happens at the volunteer meeting?
The volunteer meeting is an opportunity for the volunteers to meet the Volunteer Manager and the rest of the LVIFF staff. It’s also a chance for volunteers to learn more about the festival and their roles as volunteers. Volunteers will also get the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about this year’s festival.

What is a ‘volunteer badge’?
A volunteer badge is given to all volunteers, and should be worn at all times while volunteering. It is also what allows volunteers entrance to films and other events.

What are some of the jobs available to me as a volunteer?
We have needs for ushers, line monitors, ticket takers, and friendly people to man our merchandise table and welcome center. If you are interested in some of the technical aspects of event production or stage management we have opportunities for you to get involved as one of our film techs.

How long does a typical shift last?
We try and schedule all of our volunteers for either 4 or 5 hour shifts but we expect our volunteers to be available most of the day in case of any last minute changes.

Can I watch a film during my shift?
Yes. Volunteers are welcome into all screenings if there are seats available.
