Do you see yourself setting up, packing down, pouring beers, guiding audiences, washing dishes, scanning tickets, making signs, or perfecting your barista skills? If you haven’t volunteered at Oerol before… read on. On this page you’ll discover everything you want to know about being a volunteer at Oerol.
Update: You can now sign up for the waiting list. This means that if someone cancels, we will look at who can fill their spot. Submitting the form is no guarantee that you will be selected. You will receive a message from us by 13 May at the latest, informing you whether we can fit you in after all, or if you will remain on the waiting list. If you have already signed up and are no longer available on certain days—or can no longer make the entire period—please let us know. This allows us to make someone else happy with a spot.
Would you like to stay up to date and not miss any news? Then sign up for the Volunteers Newsletter. You can do this in the ‘Mijn Oerol’ environment once you are logged in.
