WOODFORD FOLK FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERING

Applications to volunteer for the 2022/23 Woodford Folk Festival will open in September for Returning Volunteers and one month later in October for New Volunteers.

Anyone wishing to volunteer will need to complete an online application, applying to one position. The manager for that position will then respond to your application within 2 weeks.

If you are a Returning Volunteer and have changed your contact details since the last time you volunteered with us, please email volunteers@woodfordfolkfestival.com to update us with your new information. We look forward to having you back on the crew.

LAKE GKULA LOOKERAFTERERS WANTED

Do you like lake? We lake it a lot, our gorgeous Lake Gkula. It’s growing up and developing beautifully but needs regular care and maintenance to keep it flourishing. We have a small but growing crew of dedicated volunteers who come out and do weeding around the edges, pruning and plant care, some skimming of algae and a bunch of tasks that will help the plants grow, the fish flourish and all the creatures that have come to live in the lake thrive.

You can come out for a day / week, a day / month, less or more, it’s up to you. We just ask you to complete this short little form and our head of the Lake Lookerafterer crew will get in touch with you to go through the how you can become part of this very important crew. You will also be able to come camp on site the night before or night after you volunteer and of course, go for a dip after the work is done.

Landcare Volunteers in Residence

We are looking for some dedicated Woodfordia-loving volunteers who can lend their efforts to keep the land looking beautiful. Woodfordia is in need of some much-needed care and with only a very small site crew, we need more hands to get the necessary work done.

We are looking for people who are physically fit and able to commit to 2 days* per week for a 2-3 month period. Volunteers in this programme have the option to stay on site but will need to be self-contained.

* Woodfordia Inc is a registered organisation with Centrelink. Any voluntary work may count towards your Mutual Obligation Requirements.
