Volunteer With Us

Show Up.
Make It Real.

Volunteering with totalvenueproductions isn't just filling a shift. It's how a lot of our best people got started — learning the work from the inside and becoming part of something that genuinely matters.

What We Offer

This Isn't Just Showing Up.

Proudly LGBTQ+ Friendly Environment

Our volunteers go through the same orientation as paid staff, work alongside our supervisors, and are treated like the professionals they are. Many of our volunteers go on to join our paid roster.

"Volunteers aren't cheap labor. They're people who care enough to show up without being paid — and that tells us everything we need to know about who they are."

Real Training

Orientation and role-specific briefings before every event. You know what you're doing before you get there.

Command Support

You'll always have a supervisor on-site and a contact point. No one volunteers alone.

Inclusive Culture

LGBTQ+ affirming, diverse, and welcoming. This is a team where everyone belongs.

Pathway to Paid

Strong volunteers are regularly invited to join our paid roster.

Real Experience

Reference-worthy ops experience. We'll back you up when you need it.

Community Connection

Be part of events and operations that serve real people.
