Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai, Marlboro Productions

Volunteer


The Environmental Film Festival is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that relies on the help of dedicated volunteers. Please e-mail us at info@envirofilmfest.org if you'd like to sign-up.



Assist and Evaluate Festival Screenings

Volunteers arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of each film and must volunteer for a minimum of FIVE programs.

At least three EFF staff members and volunteers attend each film screening to hand out printed programs, track attendance, and fill out evaluation forms. These evaluations are a big help to us when planning programs for the following Festival. If you'd like to volunteer for 2010 EFF please email a list of films you are interested in (with second and third choices in addition to your preferred five programs) to info@envirofilmfest.org. The film schedule will be released in early February.

Host a Gathering

Hosting a gathering is a great way to get people excited about the Festival. Post-film parties with filmmakers and special guests are a wonderful way to continue the discussion of important issues raised during films.

Host a Filmmaker

The presence of filmmakers and other speakers greatly adds to the the quality of EFF programming. When our volunteers host filmmakers it allows the Festival to bring more guests.

Take Photos

Documenting EFF events for publication on our Web site and other media outlets helps those who could not attend the Festival get a taste of what it was like and creates lasting memories for those who could attend. Anyone with a camera is encouraged to help out! Please contact Festival staff for photo assignments.
