North Shore Readers & Writers Festival 2019 Volunteer Sign up
Thank you for considering supporting the North Shore Readers and Writers Festival as a volunteer.
Volunteers will be able to attend and sit in on all events they support, including classes. There will be a mandatory orientation for volunteers on November 1st at 10am or on November 2nd at 2pm. If you cannot make either of these times we will follow up to make sure you receive the same orientation.
Note that the volunteer’s main role is to support the administrative needs of the session, including check in and setting up coffee/tea. While volunteers can sit in on sessions, please know that the volunteer’s main role within the session is to monitor the time and support the author/instructor.
With thanks,
Art Colony Staff and North Shore Readers and Writers Festival Committee
