2020 Volunteer Positions
If you are a returning volunteer: There are some breaking changes for our 2020 event and we are no longer accepting or filling volunteer positions in certain areas. If you have previously volunteered in one of these areas in the past we encourage you to explore the areas below to find an area that appeals to you most.
Setup
You are an early bird that cant wait to get a jump on the day and, even though its the weekend, you’re ready to get out and seize the day. So logically the very first thing that you think to yourself is how much you want to come down and help your good friends at hot wing festival move their stuff around and get setup. During this time you will be moving / standing / and lifting to various degrees, so you can go ahead and cross off the gym for today since you will surely get enough exercise during this morning wingfest workout from about 8-10am
Breakdown / Teardown / Strike
You are a mover and a shaker who doesn’t like to be sitting around in one place for too long, but unlike the early to rise go-get-em setup folks, you are unfamilar with the concept of “morning” on the weekends or are just not much of a morning person. Still you’re a pretty cool person and ok with putting off your late night plans for a little bit to help your good pals down here at Wing fest pack up and move all of their stuff … well most of it… and do a little bit of light cleanup.
Kidz Zone
You are still a big kid at heart and love being around the laughter, the smiles and the occasional tears of little children. You are equal parts Peter Pan and with a dash of mother hen or doting daddy — knowing the fine line when to let children be themselves but also when to intervene to help keep these lil ones safe.* Bonus points for those with who still know their way around some crayons and glitter like it’ nobody’s business for whatever arts and crafts may be provided / made available.
Supervision of children is the responsibility of the parent(s) not yours. You are just there to say, for example, keep them from running with scissors. There wont be any scissors. Children are not to be left unaccompanied by their parents at any time during the event. If you suspect this please contact one of the event staff or security personnel for assistance in locating their parents.
Information Desk / Booth
You live, breath, and bleed Memphis. You know your way around, where to have a good time, where to eat, were to drink, what to do, whats going on when and where and can help out if visitors from out of town come looking to figure out what the next stop on their trip will be. You will also be one of the faces of our festival and providing assistance to our patrons, as needed, with any questions that they may have about where things are (e.g. Bathrooms), when things are supposed to take place (schedules), and where to get assistance (e.g. first aid, lost and found etc).
