Volunteer Opportunities

The majority of the money that PANFEST needs to run all of our offerings is raised through opportunities staffed by volunteers. We NEED a steady flow of people willing to pick up a shift or two in order to keep running our events.

If nothing is posted here, we might not have any opportunities right now. Check back later!

Feel free to contact Teryn at volunteer@panfest.ca with any questions.

Commonwealth Stadium

Commonwealth Stadium runs its concessions with volunteers from various groups as a fundraising opportunities. PANFEST is one such group, having worked in Ice Cream sales, Chicken and Ribs West concession, and now Salty West concession. The stadium is a very lucrative opportunity for our organization, and was the main reason we were able to survive in spite of COVID-19. Without the revenue generated from this volunteer opportunity, PANFEST would not be able to carry forward with our much beloved festivals and community programming.

Shifts run for around 6 hours, and consist of:

  • preparing food,
  • running cash registers, and
  • coordination between the kitchen and front end staff.

Our group has our own concession, so we are all together the whole time. Shifts are a blast, with lots of fun, laughs, and camaraderie. Each volunteer shift worked gains you a $20 registration credit to our Lughnasadh Festival Weekend, so if you work enough shifts you could end up with your registration totally free! Credits can also be transferred to a friend / family member. Volunteer game tickets also provide free access to city transit on game day, and volunteers get a free meal. Connect with other stadium volunteers at our Facebook group: PANFEST Stadium Volunteer Information Group.

Feel free to contact Teryn at volunteer@panfest.ca with any questions.
