VOLUNTEER
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND APPLICATION
As non-profit organization Volunteer Ambassadors are essential in making the Big Ears Festival possible. Volunteering for Big Ears is a one-of-a-kind experience that will challenge you and put you at the center of the action. You’ll be part of a diverse, dynamic team which is integral to the success of the event. For 2022, we have made some slight changes to our program from previous years in order to allow volunteers to be more involved and make an even larger impact.
