United Way of Greater New Haven

Volunteers Are The Lifeblood Of The International Festival Of Arts & Ideas

For two weeks in June and throughout the year, the festival takes place all over New Haven from the Green to The Long Warf Theater and involves live bands, theater productions, poetry slams, dance demonstrations, reading groups, city tours, food tastings and much much more! Over 300 volunteers from the greater New Haven region and beyond bring the Festival to life as ushers, surveyors, Village of Villages ambassadors, walking tour assistants, information booth team members, office assistants and more. Volunteers are encouraged to register as soon as possible because it is recommended for most volunteer opportunities that they attend at least one orientation meeting being held Tuesday, June 3 at 5:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 7 at 10:00 a.m. in Pratt Hall, Center Church Parish House, at 311 Temple Street, New Haven.
