Volunteers

THIN AIR would not be possible without our huge brigade of volunteers. We need volunteers for every aspect of our festival from Mainstage events to driving visiting writers to their events. We are always looking for new volunteers who are outgoing, fun, love to read, and just want to give a little something back to their community.

Why volunteer?

Volunteering with THIN AIR gives you the opportunity to help promote the love of the written word as we welcome, host and present interesting authors from Canada and beyond. You can share your love of books and reading and encourage others to enjoy all the festival has to offer. Volunteering allows you access to all ticketed events and is a great way to see the festival on a limited budget.

What is the process?

Prospective volunteers need to provide a resume and/or volunteering references and will be subject to a screening interview prior to approval as a THIN AIR volunteer. We thank all those who are interested, but we will only contact those applicants we feel may suit us best

If you would like to become a volunteer for the Winnipeg International Writers Festival please email us at volunteer@thinairwinnipeg.ca

You will have to fill out a volunteer application form with a brief description of your skills and attach a resume and/or volunteering references.

PLEASE NOTE: due to pending anti-spam legislation, your form must include your signature, giving us permission to contact you for volunteering opportunities.
