Volunteering with Frolic
Without our Frolic volunteers, we have no festival.
Ballarat Frolic Festival values the role of volunteers as essential to the organisation. Frolic volunteers are respected for their skills, talents and contribution.
We aim to maximise volunteer’s potential by creating opportunities to utilise volunteer’s talents and abilities, while supporting them to develop social connections.
We aim to match volunteer’s interests and skills with suitable roles and opportunities to develop the festival, but also highly value the ‘hands on’ contribution of volunteers at our events, which is an essential part of running our festival.
As a volunteer, you will be supported in your role by the Committee of Management, who will aim to provide incentives to our volunteer base to show our ongoing appreciation for all contributions of time, energy and talent.
As far as practical, we aim to provide a safe and healthy work space, within a fun and vibrant environment. We have a no tolerance approach to any issues of bullying, discrimination, sexism, racism, homophobia or transphobia. All volunteers can expect to be treated with respect.
