Call for Volunteers
You're Invited to join the CIFF48 Volunteer Team! We are looking for
active, outgoing people 18 years of age or older with a passion for
the Arts who want to give back through service by volunteering for
CIFF48 (April 3-13, 2024) at Playhouse Square.
CIFF Volunteers fill a variety of roles from helping out at the
admin office pre-Festival to distributing and collecting ballots,
counting attendees, scanning tickets and passes, monitoring the
digital voting kiosks, and assisting attendees with wayfinding
during the Festival. There are also more specialized roles like
hospitality volunteers that help out in the Passholder Lounge or
language greeters who are fluent in another language who volunteer
during foreign language FilmSlam student screenings. We’ve got
something for everyone!
All CIFF48 volunteers are required to attend one of the 5 Volunteer
Orientations in February. Volunteers are asked to commit to three
(3), four (4) hour shifts during the CIFF48 Festival cycle
(February-April 2024). While volunteers do not watch films while
volunteering, you will be given 2 free CIFF48 vouchers at the end of
every shift! Free parking at the US Bank Garage! Bring a friend,
refer a friend, come solo, just come on and become a CIFF Volunteer!
We'd love to welcome you to the CIFF48 Team! Email any questions to
the CIFF48 Volunteer Manager, Teresa Sroka (teresa@clevelandfilm.org).
