2025 When Words Collide Festival Volunteers signup sheet
The When Words Collide festival will take place from Friday August 15 to Sunday August 17, 2025 in our new location at the Sheraton Cavalier Calgary (2620 – 32nd Ave NE). The Alexandra Writers' Centre is seeking volunteers to help ensure the success of this wonderful event!
All volunteers will receive a fabulous WWC t-shirt to wear during their shift. Please remember to sign up for a t-shirt size after you sign up for your preferred shift at the following link: https://forms.gle/QUDMoXJnhxNpH1t7A
Various volunteer positions are available and while many involve half-day (4 hour) commitments, volunteers can also sign up for full-day shifts by selecting both morning and afternoon slots, or sign-up for two half day shifts on different days. Please go to https://www.whenwordscollide.org/volunteer-roles for descriptions of the volunteer positions.
This year, we will be staggering the start times for some shifts. For example, the morning volunteers at the volunteer check-in desk will start at least 15 minutes prior to other shifts. Information regarding the exact start/end times of your shift(s) will be provided closer to the event.
All volunteers will receive a complimentary meal, a volunteer t-shirt, WWC 2025 pin, a swag bag, and access to the hospitality room during your volunteer shift(s). Volunteers who commit to at least two half-day shifts or one full-day shift (8 hours) will receive free access to the festival weekend (except for the additional paid events such as the Master Classes and Saturday Night Showcase). For volunteers who have already purchased a festival ticket, you can attend a Master Class of your choice for free (only available while space remains open). To secure your spot in a Master Class, please email info@alexandrawriters.org. Please note that refunds will not be issued for previously purchased tickets.
If you have any questions about the volunteer signup sheet or volunteer roles, please email the volunteer team at WWC2025volunteers@gmail.com. Thank you!
