Woodstock Film Festival is always seeking passionate, curious, and motivated volunteers to join our team.
Volunteering with WFF is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience at a respected nonprofit arts organization while connecting with filmmakers, artists, and industry professionals at every stage of their careers. Whether you’re supporting year-round programming or the annual festival, volunteers are essential to making it all happen.
As a WFF Volunteer, You Will:
• Gain hands-on, real-world experience in independent film and festival production
• Work alongside fellow volunteers and WFF staff in a supportive, creative, and often fast-paced environment
• Build connections within the independent film and arts community
• Develop new skills while contributing your existing strengths
• Be considered for seasonal or festival leadership roles, when available
Volunteer Opportunities Available During These Time Periods:
• Annual Festival: October 14–18, 2026 – In-person roles across venues including guest services, box office, production, transportation, press, photography, venue management, and more.
• Year-Round Events + Other Opportunities – Support screenings, panels, community partnerships, marketing, and administrative projects (select in-person and limited remote roles available depending on department).

• Free or discounted access to select WFF screenings and events
• Opportunities to connect and network with other community members
• Flexible scheduling (role-dependent; festival roles require shift commitments)
