Joining the Beardfest team is a great way to earn a nearly free ticket to Beardfest and to get some cool perks.
Best of all, though, might be the memories that you create by joining the Beardfest team and the sense of being a part of something special.
In order to join the volunteer or street team you must buy a refundable ticket and a non-refundable deposit ticket through our this ticketing site!
There are a limited amount of volunteer and street team positions available. These tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.
PERKS
• REFUNDABLE TICKET we will refund everything except $35 (once you complete your shifts).
The Refund will go through online in the week following the event. Any ticket fees will be refunded along with the ticket.
Refunds WILL NOT be given to anyone who bails on a shift.
• Free Beardfest Poster, claimable at the merch table ONLY.
• FREE GA Parking! (if you want car camping, you will need to buy that at Beardfest.net/tickets)
• Free snacks at Volunteer headquarters during your shift.
VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES
• WORK THREE 4-hour shifts.
• WE WILL ASSIGN SHIFTS and roles in advance of the festival. You must be willing to work whichever shifts and roles you are assigned. There are prefest, during fest, and post fest positions available. If you are working during fest, which is where the vast majority of positions are, we are only accepting people who are planning to attend the entire event, as we will need you to work each day.
• SHOW UP ON TIME for your shifts and work throughout the whole shift. (If you fail to do this, your ticket will not be refunded)
• SHOW UP SOBER and ready to work hard for your shifts. We are counting on you!
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your responsibilities, feel free to contact our volunteer coordinator at beardfestvolunteers@gmail.com before signing up.
Street team RESPONSIBILITIES
• BE RESPONSIVE to the street team coordinators emails and messages!
• ATTEND 4 SHOWS/EVENTS from our approved list and promote Beardfest at them by hanging posters (an average of 5 per show/15 per festival), talking to people, and distributing handouts (an average of 75 per show/150 per festival). *(we will be able to get you into certain events for free)
• HANG 20 POSTERS in approved public areas. Please consult with the Street Team leader for approval before you do this.
• Alternatively, if you don't want to attend any shows, you could instead HANG 100 POSTERS in approved public areas.
• MAKE 3 SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND 3 STORIES promoting Beardfest in creative and genuine ways.
• INVITE 200 FRIENDS to the Beardfest Facebook EVENT PAGE.
• KEEP TRACK of ALL of your work through the Simple Crew App, which we will explain in detail to you when we reach out.
• You MUST HAVE A SMART PHONE to be on the street team. This is because we organize the Street Team through a smart phone app.
**PIZZA PARTY: Optional but highly recommended. We will be having a Street Team Pizza Party in South Jersey to get the ball rolling this year. Meeting your team in person is always a good way to get inspired, and most of all its fun! We will also use this meeting as a way to do some basic Street Teamer Training and distribute your promo materials. Pizza will be provided by us. Details on time and date to follow.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your responsibilities, feel free to contact our street team coordinator Eric at Eostrofsky89@gmail.com before signing up.
