Volunteers Overview
Welcome!
From theatre entrances to shuttle stops, willing volunteers bring their passion and flexibility to help create a global platform for independent film. Those interested in star-sightings and free stuff need not apply. Volunteering here is about helping artists share their stories. Of course, there are exciting benefits-like being among the first audiences to see world premieres. The real benefits of volunteering for the 2010 Festival aren't things, or even films, they're the experiences. So, if you're ready for a one-of-a-kind experience, join us!

How To Volunteer:
Join us in creating the Sundance Film Festival, January 21-31, 2010! The Volunteer Department reviews over 3,000 applications annually to find people who best fit the 1,500 Festival Volunteer positions.
- The deadline to apply is November 15th. We are no longer accepting applications.
- Learn more and decide on the departments that interest you (there are many!) and what level of commitment you'd like to make: Full-Time or Sign-Up.
- Meet the Volunteer Department!
- Watch your email. We'll email you when we're reviewing your application and ask you to call us so we can get to know you and discuss your fit for Festival positions.
- Matches made in... Sundance. When a volunteer's interests and the Festival's needs fit, volunteers are offered a Festival Assignment. All details are then sent via email.
- Get Your Schedule
- Sign-Up Volunteers come in person to select their shifts at a Sign-Up Night, or Call-In Day for out-of-state volunteers, on various dates from December 7-18, 2009.
- Full-Time Volunteers will have their schedules set for them by the Volunteer Department, and will receive it via email one week prior to the Festival.
- Check-In, Train, and Festival! All volunteers come to check-in just before volunteering to get their Festival Credential, uniform, etc. Volunteers are also required to attend training, some of which is provided online. And, finally, it's Festival time! Volunteers enjoy working their assigned shifts in-between attending events, seeing films, and maybe sleeping.
