Volunteer positions are a minimum of 4 hours. As a volunteer, you will be able to enjoy the Fair at no charge on the day you volunteer or if you volunteer beforehand, you will receive a free Fair ticket that can be used any day.
Most of our volunteer positions require volunteers to be over 16 years of age, except for the Wine & Beer area for which the minimum age is 21 (be prepared to show your id when you arrive for your shift).
As an ambassador for the Foundation, welcoming visitors to Waterford, please follow the golden rule and treat fairgoers, residents, staff and other volunteers as you would wish to be treated. Be polite, helpful and if you are unable to assist someone find someone who can (e.g., your supervisor, information booth, sheriff's deputy, EMs, staff, etc.).
Waterford is a historic village and many of the properties are not accessible by wheel chair. If you have any special needs we should be made aware of regarding the projects you are volunteering for, please add a note in the application.
Dress: business casual dress/casual dress is fine. Corporate groups may wear company logo items to identify them as a group. Please dress for the weather but do not wear shorts or ripped shirts. Comfortable walking shoes are a must.
Volunteers must have their own transportation to and from their shift(s).
By entering the Fair premises, you consent to being filmed and/or photographed for promotional purposes. Any person desiring not to have their photo/video taken or distributed must contact oldschool@waterfordfoundation.org in writing of his/her/their intentions before the event.
Foundation staff and Volunteer Leads have the right to terminate any volunteer's shift at any time.
If you have any questions, please contact us at fairadmin@waterfordfoundation.org or 540-882-3018.
