VOLUNTEER

The Arts Festival wishes to express its sincere gratitude to those who worked hard to produce “Happy Valley’s annual miracle” in 2009. Your help is needed to do the same for 2010!

If you would like to give the gift of your time, and join over 1,200 other volunteers who help make Festival a reality - there are many opportunities for you to get involved! Call (814) 237-3682 to help with this wonderful community event.

  • Help guide visitors to the Festival venues from an Information Booth
  • Sell Festival buttons and merchandise
  • Work 'behind the scenes' in the days leading up to Festival in setup
  • Work in the Festival office the week of the Festival
  • Be an Artist Ambassador

“The Proud, The Few, The Trash Crew” is in need of volunteers over the duration of the festival.  The crew is responsible for of maintaining cleanliness of the festival zone as well as emptying the trash and recycling receptacles. This is a great opportunity for groups looking to help since it is a great team building activity and is a lot of fun.  All of those volunteering for “The Crew” will receive a special collectable trash crew T-shirt. 

Some lifting and walking is required of trash crew members. For those interested, please contact Judy Albin, Trash Crew Co-Chair, at JAA4@psu.edu

For men and women interested in the Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition, other volunteer opportunities are available. There are many slots still existing for Festival Ambassadors.  An ambassador's time commitment is between 2 and 3 hours depending on the time period that works best for each person.  This job will assign the volunteer to roam the different streets of the Festival.  Each Artist will have a flag that they will display to signal that they need an Ambassador.  An Ambassador is often asked to watch an Artist's booth for 15-20 minutes while they take a quick break or they may be asked for basic information regarding the festival and the State College area.

The job is very rewarding and a great way to meet some of the Artists as well as other community volunteers. Being an ambassador requires a significant amount of walking, so an average degree of physical fitness is required. Since it might involve answering questions about State College and Penn State, Ambassadors should have proficiency in English and be somewhat familiar with State College. Those interested in getting involved should contact Duane Funk at duane.funk@sial.com.
