How to Volunteer

We want UCity Lights Winter Fest to run as smoothly as possible and to provide a great experience for everyone involved. Our volunteers play a big part in helping to make that happen! We rely on the hard work and dedication of volunteers to make our event a success.

What you need to know

Volunteers should be prepared to work in an outdoor environment and will need to dress according to the weather. All volunteers who complete their shift(s) will receive swag from University City Partners at the Information Booth near the event entrance by The Wine Vault.

Can friends work together?

Please note in your application that you would like to work alongside a friend. We will make every effort to honor all requests. It may not be possible to work in the same department or at the same position post, but shift times will be similar so that free time is similar, and friends can enjoy time off together.
