Thank you to everyone who helped us as volunteers during the 2009 festival.  The Salem Jazz
and Soul Festival is an all volunteer organization, and we could not produce our events without
your help.

We're always looking for volunteers to help with event production and behind the scenes
projects.  If you're interested in participating, we'd love to hear from you.  There are a number of
ways to help.

  • As a volunteer addressing special projects year-round (example: marketing/promotion,
    event planning, volunteer coordination, accounting, etc.).

  • Help us set up events and/or sell merchandise during our early summer series at Derby
    Square, a monthly performance beginning in May and running every Second Saturday until
    August.   

  • Become a Festival Weekend volunteer - so much goes into staging our "main event" - we
    need help of all kinds!  Volunteer assignments on Saturday and Sunday include
    construction/set-up, production/stage runners, signage posting, VIP registration/check-in,
    volunteer coordination, kids tent volunteers, music education and more.  

If you have a special talent, educational/professional background or interest you feel could be
put to specific use, please let us know in the comments section below.  If you're willing and able to
help wherever you're needed, that's great!  Just let us know, and we'll work with you to find the
right role.  Email volunteers@salemjazzsoul.com for more information.

Thanks for your support!
