FotoFest welcomes volunteers and interns; they are one of the central supports of the organization. Because of FotoFest’s national and international renown, we have worked with many interns and volunteers from the United States and abroad.

Volunteer for FotoFest

Preparations are well underway for the FotoFest 2010 Biennial, March 12 to April 25, 2010. The Biennial is when we have the greatest need for volunteers. We will need help with evening events, gallery hosts/docents for two FotoFest curated exhibition sites, the Auction, and the Meeting Place.

Volunteers are vital to FotoFest. We are looking for interested and reliable people of all ages for special events, including: The Biennial’s Opening Night, FotoFun, a child centered fundraiser for our educational program Literacy Through Photography (LTP), and we are always in need exhibitions hosts.

"I signed up to volunteer for everything I possibly could, and I wanted to do it all….”I met so many photographers and most interesting to me was to see their techniques, artistic views and observe the different types of people that make up a photographer.”
