Last year over 200 volunteers helped make the Fanshawe Dragon Boat Festival the success that it is. Without the hard work and dedication of the volunteer team this event would not happen. Volunteers are needed in a variety of areas on site the day before and during the event.
General Helpers - Relieve all stations for breaks and lunches, ensure site cleanliness during festival, deliveries, assist in different areas as required
Parking Attendants - Help direct traffic and give directions before and after the event, assist any special needs visitors, gate greeters
Dock Hands - Assist on the docks with loading/unloading of the boats, bail boats, marshaling, race runners, drummers
Steerspersons - Experience or certification required. Steerspersons are also required for practices and will be notified of dates and times
Clean up - Take down tents, signs, markers, and remove garbage
As this is an outdoor event, ALL volunteers should be prepared to work in ANY type of weather.
Any volunteer under the age of 16 MUST submit a waiver of liability signed by a parent or guardian to complete their registration.
Volunteers will receive meal vouchers, water, Volunteer T-shirt, and a great team-building experience.
Prior to the festival, volunteers will need to complete the online volunteer application and waiver of liability by clicking the link below
High school students who volunteer at the festival can use this time to fulfill their mandatory community service requirements
