About the application

We have a few opportunities for you or your group to volunteer before, during and after the Fair at the Craft School tent. Please let us know when you are available to help by completing this application. Opportunities include: • Waterford Craft School Tent Docent during Fair hours (4 hour shifts) which includes manning the tent, interacting with visitors, telling fairgoers about the Craft School, etc. (Don't worry if you are new or unfamiliar with the Craft School, all volunteers will be given all of the information they need before the Fair.) • Tent set-up and break down before and after the Fair (1 hour commitment for each) Thank you for considering volunteering your time. It truly takes a village for the Fair run smoothly year after year!

Terms & Conditions

Volunteers need a minimum of four (4) volunteer hours to receive a Fair day pass. Those that volunteer for one hour shifts at the Craft School tent for set-up and take down may combine that time with volunteer hours in other areas of the Fair to reach their four hours. All volunteers giving four or more hours of time will be able to enjoy the Fair at no charge on the day they volunteer. Additionally, volunteers will receive one Fair ticket for every four hours of volunteer work which may be used any day of the Fair and can be given to friends or family. All Craft School tent volunteer positions require volunteers to be at least 21 years of age and comfortable interacting with fairgoers. As an ambassador for the Craft School 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., Shelagh, information booth, sheriff's deputy, EMs, staff, etc.). Waterford is a historic village and many of the properties are not accessible by wheelchair. 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 fairasst@waterfordfoundation.org or 540-882-3018.
