Jordan Lake Arts and Music is a newly formed registered non profit based out of Chatham County, focused on providing local creative minds the opportunity to share their imaginative vision. Jordan Lake Arts and Music encourages the union of a “creative economy” with “recreative enjoyment.” Striving for a win-win partnership, resulting in the intrinsic value gained in the enrichment of our community. We encourage people of all ages, culture and economic background with a supportive environment in which to explore and experience the arts.

We are currently in the preliminary stages of planning our very first outdoor festival to take place in late September. We're looking for volunteers, feedback, ideas and support. If you would like to a part of our festival volunteer team, please come out and join us on June 12, 2008 at 7pm for a meeting of the minds. The meeting will be held at Jordan Lake Farm: 1226 Martha's Chapel Road, Apex, NC 27523. For further information on the farm and for directions, check out our website : www.jordanlakefarm.org.

We are looking for people to work in a variety of departments, including pre-festival set-up, post festival clean up and break down, information administrators, and many, many more. The key here is flexibility. We cannot stress this enough. We need volunteers that are ready, willing, and able to go anywhere on the grounds to lend a helping hand and who are excited to be a part of this team effort.

There are two types of JLAM volunteers.
