Held on the National Mall each summer, the Folklife Festival honors contemporary living cultural traditions and celebrates those who practice and sustain them. With free performances, workshops, demonstrations and other activities, it is a chance for visitors to be immersed in song, dance, crafts, games, food and skills of the unique culture.

We’re specifically reaching out to high schools for this year’s Festival which celebrates the program, Youth and the Future of Culture, presenting ways that young generations are continuing traditional crafts like leather and stone work, storytelling and traditional languages; as well as looking at how youth are creating their own culture, incorporating technology, creativity and imagination. As such, we’d love to have youth, young adults and those who work with them as volunteers at the Festival.

The dates of the Festival are July 2-7 but we have opportunities for volunteers starting June 16 through July 15.

Opportunities for volunteers include:

• Festival Set Up and Pack Out

• Audio, Photo, and Video Documentation

• Accessibility

• Sustainability

As well as working with our Program Areas that include:

• Building Trades (stone carving, ironwork, carpentry, etc)

• Learning Together (weaving, leather work, luthiers, etc)

• Native Language Reclamation

• Foodways demonstration kitchen

• Family Activities (making program content accessible to the very young)

• Music and Storytelling (poetry, music production, etc)

• Skateboarding and Lowriders

Learn more and apply to volunteer with us HERE.
