The 14th Toronto
Ukrainian Festival will be in the Bloor West Village on
September 17-19, 2010.
We are very pleased that you
are considering becoming a volunteer for the 14th Annual
Toronto Ukrainian Festival. The Festival has always
depended on the generous help of the volunteers like
you, and it is you who developed the festival from a
local community event into the biggest open air
Ukrainian Festival in North America.
How Can I become a
Volunteer for the Festival?
The best way to become a
volunteer for the festival is to register through this
website (see the button below) for the particular shift
that you would like to have, and the Volunteer
Coordinator will contact you to confirm your choice.
NOTE:
You'll be placed
where most needed. Your preferences will be considered
but your skill level matched with the greatest need will
determine placement.
Volunteer Orientation
Session
All registered volunteers
for 2010 must attend the volunteer orientation in August,
time TBC, where they will have an opportunity to meet
with the staff, to learn about the festival,
programming, their shifts, what is expected from them
and what is expected from the staff. This is the best
opportunity to ask questions.
Sign in / Sign out
Every volunteer must
register (sign in) before performing the shift. To do
so, please arrive to the festival Volunteer Centre
(tent) on Bloor West Street at Windermere Ave. 10
minutes before the beginning of your shift. There you
will meet the Volunteer Coordinator, who will assist
you, so don’t hesitate to ask for help.
At the end of the shift
volunteers must sign out from the shift at the same
Volunteer Centre.
NOTE:
If a volunteer has two or more shifts one after the
other, he/she is asked to sign in only once, before the
beginning of the first shift, and sign out only after
the end of the last shift for that specific day.
Attendance
If you will be late or would
need to cancel or reschedule your shift, please contact
the Volunteer Coordinator as soon as possible,
preferably at least 24 hours before the beginning of the
shift. This will allow us time to find a substitute.
Festival T-shirts
At the time of registration
each volunteer will receive a special Toronto Ukrainian
Festival 2010 Volunteer T-shirt. Please wear this
T-shirt while on your shift. This is for the convenience
of the Festival visitors who will then be able to locate
volunteers and staff without difficulty.
Also please dress
comfortably during the shift, as the shift might require
certain physical work. Keep in mind that if your shift
is outdoors, having a hat, sunglasses and the sun block
might be a sound idea. An umbrella or raincoat could
come in handy as well.
Food Coupons
Every volunteer who spends a
minimum of four hours on the festival shifts will be
provided with a food coupon. Water for volunteers will
be available at the Volunteer Centre.
No Smoking Policy
It is the policy of the
Toronto Ukrainian Festival that Volunteers engaged at
the Festival should refrain from smoking while on
shifts.
