Are you a champion of children’s literacy? Would you like the chance to work with notable children and young adult authors plus the readers that are their fans? Have you ever been to a “rock concert” for reading where thousands of kids scream for books?

This is your chance – volunteer at the Festival of Trees!

Waterloo Region is hosting their inaugural event on May 18th at THE AUDITORIUM (Kitchener) and we need YOU!

 Without our Festival Volunteers, we simply wouldn’t be able to run this event. Our Festival Volunteers are instrumental in providing an amazing experience for the young readers and adult chaperones that attend this event. We hope that you volunteer with us!

Duties May Include: accompanying authors and illustrators around the site, helping out at the registration desk, supporting programs, activities and workshops, and other duties as assigned.

 Time Commitment: Shifts are 6 hours on the day of the Festival and will run from 8:15 am – 2:30 pm. Duties are rotated among all the volunteers when possible. A break will be provided.

 Apply Now!

We value and appreciate your time commitment. We ask that you apply if you are interested and can commit the time for our Festival Day on Friday, May 18, 2018.

Please forward this message and share the link bit.ly/fotvolunteer, if you know someone who may be interested in volunteering!

Thank you!
