VOLUNTEER FAQ
WHAT DO VOLUNTEERS GET IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR TIME AND EFFORT
OSF volunteers who commit to, and work, a minimum of 8-10 hours of “festival shifts” receive a weekend pass that allows them access to all six venues including the main stage throughout the weekend when not volunteering (subject to venue capacity, as with all pass-holders). Training and pre-shift check-in do not apply to your volunteer hours.
