Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Kuumbwa Jazz! All volunteer positions are currently filled, but please feel free to complete an application and be added to the wait-list.

A dedicated group of volunteers has powered Kuumbwa’s success for over four decades. We are fortunate to live in a community with such talented and dedicated individuals who are ready, willing and able to set the stage from behind-the-scenes for visiting musicians from around the world.

Volunteers work in many areas of the organization: taking tickets at the door, helping in the café, bar and gift shop during concerts, assisting the small staff with day-to-day operations throughout the week, and pitching in with special events throughout the year. We are always looking for more help — thank you in advance for your interest in volunteering with Kuumbwa Jazz!

What is the time commitment of a volunteer?

Prospective volunteers are asked to make a one-year commitment. The amount of time volunteered each week depends on the type of task you are interested in. But all volunteers are expected to arrive on time ready to work and stay until their shift is completed – our concert schedule depends on it!

What can I do as a volunteer?

You can help with food prep, bar and café service, gift shop sales, dishwashing, venue cleanup, office assistance, marketing and development, special event assistance, and door crew. 

How do I get started?

Fill out the volunteer form below. We will keep your application on file and contact you when a position opens up. Please check in with us regularly after you have submitted an application to see if new positions have become available.
