VOLUNTEERING

Volunteer with the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival

As an all-volunteer-run organization, we can’t produce free concerts and raise funds for music education initiatives without HELP FROM the VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY!

Since 2007 we have raised more than $70,000 for music education causes north of Boston and produced more than 100 FREE CONCERTS.

As a volunteer with the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival, you could assist in year round special projects. These projects include marketing/promotion, event planning, volunteer coordination, merchandise, accounting, and more. We always seek volunteers to help with event production and behind-the-scenes ‘stuff.’ So please consider being a part of something great! We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in helping out. Reach out to our volunteer team at volunteers@salemjazzsoul.org.

The Salem Jazz and Soul Festival will be on August 17th this year.

Here’s what you can expect…

Our volunteer needs typically run in 4 hour shifts.  There’s an important early shift starting at 8 a.m. to help get things set-up for the Festival.  Many of the volunteer shifts start at 11 AM and run consecutively till 7 PM.  So you don’t have to commit your entire weekend to the festival, although we’d love to have you.  Pick a shift or two.  It’s all up to you.  Just know that every volunteer hour helps in our mission.

Here’s a bit more on some of the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival tasks we could use help with:

  • MAIN FESTIVAL VOLUNTEER: So much goes into staging our “main event” – we need all kinds of help! Volunteer assignments on Saturday and Sunday include construction/set-up and breakdown, signage posting, artist hospitality assistant, volunteer check-in, beer garden sales and id-checking, music education, and more.
