VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FORM

As of now, we have reached our quota of volunteers for the 2004 VIFF. Thank you to everyone who has applied.

There is a small chance that we may still need a few key people. Feel free to fill out the volunteer form, especially if you would like to be contacted by email to volunteer for next year's Festival.

Please do NOT expect to be contacted in 2004.

We will keep your information on file and will contact you ONLY if you fill a specific gap in our volunteer program. However, if you provide a valid email address, we will send you a message when the 2005 Volunteer Application is ready.

The VIFF is very grateful to all of the terrific volunteers who help make the Festival happen. We'd like to say thank you in advance to those who will become part of our team. Before completing this form please think carefully about your schedule and your ability to commit to a minimum of 32 hours of volunteer work. Volunteers who arrive late, quit early or don't show up for scheduled shifts will lose their volunteer privileges as they make it hard for other members of the volunteer team. We therefore must stress the importance of making a commitment.
