Volunteers

You can sign up to volunteer by filling in the online registration form. In this form, you will be able to let us know about your skills and preferences. Registration for IFFR 2024 opens at the beginning of November.

 

 

 

You have signed up to become a volunteer at IFFR! We look forward to welcoming you to the Tiger team. Here's what to expect after your registration:

When you sign up as a volunteer for the first time at IFFR, we will invite you to an introductory meeting so that we can get to know each other. During the meeting, we will discuss the festival and the different volunteer teams you can join. For some roles – those that require a more specific skill set – you’ll be asked to join us for a second intake meeting. If we believe there is a good match, we will assign you to a team and inform you in early December about your team placement.

If you are a returning (alumni) volunteer, you will receive an email in late October to register for the upcoming festival. As a returning volunteer, you will have priority over new volunteers in selecting a role. We will process your application promptly and assign you to a team based on your preferences and experience. You will also receive the final placement information in early December.

Once we have found everyone a team to join, we will send out a link to the shift-picker. In the shift-picker, you’ll find a list with the available shifts for your role that you can then sign up for. We will inform you in advance about the day and time that the shift-picker will be online, so you can choose the shifts that suit you best. 

Whilst we eagerly await the start of the festival, we will keep you informed about what to expect. For most roles, there is a training day scheduled, where you can meet your fellow volunteers, learn everything about what a shift during the festival entails, and get in the right spirit together.

And then, it’s time! The festival gets underway and together we will ensure it is a great success!
