Green Team Volunteers help maintain an upbeat and a pleasant atmosphere throughout the event. They monitor “eco-stations” throughout and make sure that recycling and trash are done right! Volunteers are equipped with gloves and long-handled “pickers,” and should be physically able to do a good bit of walking and a little lifting/changing of container liners. Volunteers will also help set up the Green Team table during the morning and evening shifts. This is a great opportunity to help make Richmond a greener place to live!

A volunteer parking map will be sent to each volunteer. For Brew Crew: don’t forget to bring your ID – if you do you will be transitioned to another volunteer opportunity. We will provide water and snacks. Please remember to bring cash if you wish to enjoy the festival’s vendors.
