 Interested in becoming a volunteer?
Please send email inquiries to the volunteer coordinator with your name,
address, phone number, and e-mail address.
You will be added to our volunteer mailing list. We will notify you of the times
and places for volunteer meetings and will send you a blank volunteer form you can mail
in if you cannot attend a meeting in person. 
On-Line Signup - New for 2004!
The NTIF has finally implemented on-line
volunteer registration! By filling in a simple form you can
sign-up to be an NTIF volunteer and even pick which area and shift
you would prefer to work. We can make no guarantees, but early
signup will improve your chances of getting your preferences.
Hurry - Good Positions Going Fast!
We still need volunteers, but many shifts are filling fast. Hospitality is now fully
staffed as are most of the first shifts. Sign up now if you want to
get a convenient time slot.
Why Volunteer?
First and foremost - we have a lot of fun! For each 3-hour shift worked
you will receive a free beverage of your choice at the Festival.
One 3-hour shift gets you free admission into the Festival on the
day of your shift. Two or more 3-hour shifts get you free admission
into the Festival on both days. Volunteers working two or more shifts
receive a free NTIF souvenir T-shirt.
What kinds of things to volunteers do at the NTIF?
Admissions - The all-important ticket sales. Lots of folks
needed here.
Beer - Volunteers are needed to pour beer. You need to be TABC
certified for this (we pay for the training). Also, you
need to be 21 or over.
Finance - We always need people to help count money.
Hospitality - Maintain the performers' hospitality/dressing area.
Instrument Check-In - Performers check their instruments into a secure
room when they are not performing.
Main Office - Mostly this involves answering the phone during the Festival.
 Operations - Set-up before the Festival and tear-down on the Monday after the
Festival.
Performers' Products Sales - We set up a booth where our performers' products
are for sale - tapes, CDs, shirts, etc. SCMA Information
Booth The SCMA promotes Celtic cultural events in North Texas,
including the NTIF. Help support the SCMA and spend a few hours at
their booth giving out information and selling their product.
Sound Technicians - Help setup and run the sound equipment. Special training
will be provided prior to the festival
Souvenir T-shirt Sales - This is usually a combination T-shirt and program sales
and a general information booth.
Stage Managers - Announce the acts, take care of wants and needs of the performers,
get them on and off the stage on time.
Transportation - Drivers are needed for our courtesy vans which take performers
to and from the airport, hotel, and Festival grounds. Must be a
licensed driver with no tickets and over 25 for this.
Urchin Street - This area is devoted to children. Helpers are needed for arts
and crafts for the kids.
