Autograph Table Volunteer

680 Plains Rd W, Burlington, ON, L7T 4H4 [map]
4-6 hours / daily
-
Autograph Table Volunteers assist the autograph tent, helping authors/illustrators find their way and sign their books in the limited time they have for our Festival guests! Volunteers also organize audience line-ups, ensure all tent materials needed are in place, and may be asked to assist presenters, responding to their questions, relaying messages, etc. This is a fast-paced, time-sensitive job.

This role involves some movement in a very busy atmosphere, across a grassy field and adjacent to a 10 x 20 tent where the presenters are seated. The ground leading to the area is a paved, level pathway.
