Volunteer at Kinkfest
Would you like to serve your community by volunteering at KinkFest? We have a variety of positions that help us create the magic that is KinkFest!
KinkFest is built by community members who show up for each other. Volunteering is a wonderful way to meet people, lend a hand, and be part of what makes this event come together. If you'd like to be one of them, we'd love to have you.
Two ways to volunteer
There are plenty of volunteer positions to choose from, so make sure you check out the volunteer positions page and read descriptions of the ones that interest you to make an informed decision! You can join in helping out one of two ways:
Goodwill Volunteer: 2 or more hours
Give a little time to the event you love. You pay for your KinkFest registration as usual, then pitch in for at least two hours with setup, tear down, or other helpful duties during the event.
Scholarship Volunteer: Get some help with cost
Want some financial help getting to KinkFest? A Scholarship can help you get into KinkFest. We have 2 types of Scholarships volunteers can apply for:
- Full Scholarship: 12 hours of volunteering
- Partial Scholarship: 8 hours of volunteering, and you pay $100
How to sign up
Everyone starts by filling out the volunteer application. Applying does not guarantee a spot.
Goodwill? Register now.
Complete the volunteer application and your KinkFest registration right away.
Scholarship? Don't register yet.
Apply first. If you're selected, the Volunteer Coordinators will send you a personalized link that gives you a discount when you register.
Why the wait?
Your registration price depends on whether you're selected to receive a volunteer scholarship to receive a volunteer scholarship, so it's best to hear back first. Here's how it will work:
- If you register now, then get selected: You've already paid full price and we can't refund you. You'd volunteer as a Goodwill Volunteer instead of getting a scholarship.
- If you wait, then get selected: Our Volunteer Director sends you a personal link through which you register with a discount
- If you wait, then are not selected: Our Volunteer Director sends you a personal link through which you can register for KinkFest by paying the full price of the tickets that were available the day you originally submitted your volunteer application.
Please show up
If you are selected to volunteer, thank you for your time and welcome aboard! We're glad you are here and we're counting on you. Nobody on the KinkFest team is paid, so if you miss a shift, another volunteer ends up working longer and harder to cover it. If something comes up, contact us at volunteers@kinkfest.org (or your Lead if you're already in touch) as soon as you can.
