WaterFire KC wouldn't run without the help from our amazing volunteers. While the performance may only be for a few short hours, it takes multiple teams to help organize, set up, break down and run the show over a four day period.
See below if you are interested in learning more about the various volunteer roles. If you already know what shifts you'd like to sign up, go ahead and click the 'sign in' link above. If you have not yet joined our volunteer team but would like to, click the 'sign up' link above.
By signing up to be a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to not only lend a hand with WaterFire KC, but the multiple other productions including: KC Fringe Festival, Inspire KC, and more to come! Our volunteers earn Creates Cash for working any of our productions and can use it to gain admission to various events as well as at our silent auction at our season end volunteer appreciation party!
