OUTBURST 2014 VOLUNTEER APPLICATION Thanks for checking out our festival volunteering form! If you’d like to apply, just fill in the short questionnaire below and return it to us as soon as possible to hello@outburstarts.com To ensure we’re all good for healthy and safety info, you must be able to attend our volunteer induction evening on Wednesday 29th October, 7pm-8.30pm at our city centre office. INTRO Volunteers are a hugely valuable and core part of the Outburst Team during and before the festival. Volunteering is great way of contributing to Outburst’s mission of promoting LGBTQI equality and queer visibility through high quality arts programming. You’ll also get to see behind the scenes of a working festival, meet some lovely new people at events and see some fantastic world-class work. We want to build a team of dedicated, enthusiastic and friendly volunteers who will engage well with/ support our audiences and artists and help us out with everything from running to the shop for tin foil, to door duties, to supporting access for patrons with disabilities. We love to see volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, as long as you’re up for being on the ball in a busy environment, we’d love to have you on board. Thanks! Please note that while working at events will enable you to see some of the shows/events that you’re working at, in some instances you may be required to be outside a venue or needed elsewhere during a performance. We always try to accommodate volunteers when we can but if there’s something you simply can’t miss, please make sure that you’re not on the rota for that event as we do need volunteers to be available for tasks when needed. NAME: Mobile No: EMAIL contact: Why you would like to be part of the volunteer team at Outburst?
Tell us about any work or volunteer experience you have that you can bring to volunteering at the festival (for example: customer service, marketing, front of house, tech etc. Not essential but it’s good for us to know!)
Do you have any specific skills or abilities that you would like to offer as an Outburst volunteer?
What volunteering commitment can you make from Nov. 1st – 23rd? (E.g. evenings, day times, number of days. We’ll need the volunteer team mostly the week of the festival 14 th22nd but we’d also love to have some volunteers on board earlier in the month. Priority will be given to applicants who can work multiple event/days as we like to get to know our volunteers and build up a good working team! )
Can you make the volunteer induction training on Wednesday October 29th, 7pm-8.30pm in Belfast city centre?
Outburst welcomes volunteers of all abilities and backgrounds. Tell us here if you have any access or health needs e.g. can’t carry heavy stuff, are a wheelchair user etc. to assist us in scheduling appropriate tasks for you.
Have you ever had any child/vulnerable adult protection training? If yes, please tell us about it.
THANKS! We’ll be in touch with you soon. If we are over-subscribed for volunteers we may not be able to take everyone on but we’ll do our best! Please note that as part of our Child Protection/Health and Safety best practice, we may require a reference for appointed volunteer team members.
