Become a Volunteer

Become a volunteer at the Adirondack Nature Festival for People with Disabilities.

The Festival will require many volunteers with a variety of skill sets to ensure that vendors receive the help they need to set up, that guests are greeted and properly guided through the VIC trail system, and to ensure the health and well being of everyone involved.

Volunteers will receive a free Festival volunteer T-Shirt, and catered lunch.

Up to three virtual (via Zoom) orientations will be required prior to the event to familiarize volunteers with the event, it’s location, and their various spheres of responsibility.
