Volunteer Opportunities

[hozbreak]

Volunteers at the Pender Harbour Jazz Festival help in all aspects of our Festival and are essential to making the event a success each year. There are a variety of opportunities to match your interest, and we encourage you to participate with us in this community based event.

Without the enthusiasm and dedication of our volunteers, our Jazz Festival could not be possible.

We expect our volunteers to be ambassadors for the festival as well as have fun, and to perform their assigned task to the best of their ability. We expect our volunteers to show up on time for their shifts, wear our festival T-shirt and communicate with their supervisor. If you would like to be part of this special team, meet new friends and listen to great jazz, join now.

Email us at with your contact information and we will be in touch with you.
