FAQ
How many hours will I be asked to do as a volunteer?
- You need to volunteer for a minimum of four hours over the weekend, then you can go explore the festival. If you can help out for more time then that would be really appreciated.
Can volunteers attend sessions?
- If you are finished your volunteer shift you are welcome to attend as many sessions as you like. If there is a particular session taking place during your shift please talk to your team leader who will help provide you cover on your station.
Will my travel to the festival be covered?
- Unfortunately MozFest is unable to cover travel or accommodation to the festival over the weekend.
Do I have to wear the Volunteer t-shirt?
- If you are "on duty" then yes, the t-shirt is your "ask me questions, I know everything" banner.
Are there age restrictions on volunteers?
- As a rule, volunteers less than 16-years of age (at the time of volunteering) will need to be accompanied (at all times) by one or more parent or legal guardian - we would not normally accept anyone less than 8-years of age. There is no upper age limit. There may be limits on when people under 16 can be on site - please talk to coordinating team for clarification.
