Festival Background for Volunteers

We invite you to take some time and get to know the festival by browsing our website. Volunteers play key leadership and support roles in the planning and execution of the film festival. We have a team of highly skilled, experienced professional people who work as volunteers for the film fest, which also makes it a great place for lesser experienced volunteers to gain experience and learn new skills.

Benefits of Volunteering

In addition to getting to work with an amazing, energetic group of people on an important project promoting understanding and action to build resilient sustainable communities, all volunteers will:

Two volunteers.

  • see amazing films

  • learn about concrete eco-action opportunities

  • engage with the community and meet new people

  • get a One Earth Film Festival organic cotton t-shirt

  • receive an invitation to the volunteer celebration in April 2025
