VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

Overview

Berks Arts is deeply grateful for the hundreds of volunteers who share their time, energy, and talent for the Boscov’s Berks Jazz Fest. The festival is one of the best in the world thanks to the thousands of hours committed by our amazing Jazz Fest Volunteer Family!

Volunteers are critical to the festival’s success. Our volunteers assist our patrons as ticket takers and ushers, merchandise sellers, and general supporters and friends. Volunteers also support our artists through stage production, hospitality, transportation, and other logistical and operational support.

We are always looking for great new members to join our Jazz Fest family! Be sure to complete the NEW VOLUNTEER INFORMATION FORM as your first step!
SPECIAL NOTE: CURRENT/RETURNING VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE NEW VOLUNTEER INFORMATION FORM.
