VOLUNTEER INFO

The vision of ONE Music Festival was born out of our passion for live music and a strong desire to see intergenerational evangelism and discipleship grow in our local church communities.

What better way to do it than through an all age music and arts festival; with a blend of wholesome music, food, messages of HOPE and creative arts, all geared towards intergenerational ministry.

However, it all couldn’t happen without the help of amazing volunteers. If you’re interested in joining the ONE-Team this year. we’d love your help! Please read through the information below. 2024 applications will open soon!

The ONE-TEAM is what we call our awesome volunteers!

They work all over the festival on the day to support the festival committee and attendees and ensure that everyone has an incredible, fun, and safe experience at ONE Music Festival. As a member of the ONE Team, you could be doing anything from selling a band’s merch, to keeping an eye on various entry points, to greeting everyone as they come and go throughout the venue. Be sure to let our volunteer manager know what your personal interests are!

All ONE Team members will receive admission to ONE Music Festival and you can enjoy the festival whenever you’re not working. You’ll also get the official ONE Team t-shirt. Most importantly, you’ll get the sense of being a part of something special in sharing God’s love with others—the experience of working at a music festival, and playing a huge part in everyone’s experience! Not to mention, you’ll make memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Just follow these 7 steps and you’ll be good to go!

STEP 3

Get assigned to your team!

• All volunteers will be assigned to a specific team. Meaning that if you get assigned to the Check-in Team, for example, that’s the team you’ll work on for all of your shifts.
• This will help build consistency for both you and the festival coordinators so that you’re trained on everything that they do and aren’t required to learn different systems on the day.
• As part of the application, you’ll be able to choose the top two teams you are most interested in working on. While we can’t guarantee you’ll get your top choice, we will do our best to get you on a team that fits your interests.
• You’ll be assigned to your specific team at least three weeks prior to when you are required to be on-site.

STEP 4

Get your ONE Team schedule!

• Schedules will also be released at least three weeks prior to when you are required to be on-site.
• This will allow you to know when you’re supposed to be working and give you an idea of what your free time at Alive will look like. What bands will you get to see? Which ones will you have to miss? All of that will be answered ahead of time so that if you have any issues, you can try and work it out.
• By giving you your schedules ahead of time, we hope that you’ll be able to resolve any conflicts before you get on site to check-in.

STEP 5

Check in at ONE Music Festival!

• All ONE Team members will check in at the Volunteer Check-In. Information about times and where to Check-In is located will be sent to those ONE Team members who have followed through with the whole application process and have been assigned to a team.
• All volunteers will receive their Full Event Wristband at their first check-in.

STEP 6

Work your shift!

• Shifts on the day last 2-3 hours (depending on the team).
• Be sure to check in 15-20 minutes early to your shift.
• All ONE Team members are expected to be on time, and wearing appropriate clothing for their shift:
• Think about the type of work that you’re going to be doing when deciding what to wear. Showing up in inappropriate clothing or without proper shoes could result in forfeiture of your shift and access to the festival as a ONE Team Volunteer.
• Be sure to bring sunscreen, a water bottle, and a snack!
• You’ll meet up with your Team Coordinator when you arrive at each of your shifts.
• Be sure to stay at your assigned location and task until you are either taken to another workplace or have been dismissed by a Coordinator. That’s the only way that you can be sure that it gets noted that you completed your shift.
