The Red Stick International Animation Festival is looking for volunteers to work during the sixth annual festival, which will take place Nov. 10-13 in downtown Baton Rouge. Red Stick needs volunteers to work at the festival’s main venues – Shaw Center for the Arts, Manship Theatre, Old State Capitol and Louisiana Art and Science Museum – during the festival. Volunteer duties include taking tickets, checking passes, counting attendance and being available to assist the festival staff with operations. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and able to provide their own transportation to and from the festival. Children under 16 can volunteer if adults accompany them during their work shifts. Volunteers are expected to be available for four-hour work shifts during the festival.
Volunteers receive complimentary Red Stick Krewe T-shirts and festival Red Passes. (Red Passes otherwise cost $5 per person and allow admittance to festival film screenings and Cartoon-a-Palooza on Saturday, Nov. 13, and access to the merchant's room at Fandemonium, Red Stick's new Con event.) The festival will provide volunteers with a parking pass to use during their work hours.
Anyone interested in being a festival volunteer should attend one of the festival’s informational meetings on Wednesday, Oct. 20 or Tuesday, Oct. 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Old State Capitol House Chamber. There will be a mandatory training session for all Red Stick volunteers on Wednesday, Nov. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the Old State Capitol.
For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact the Red Stick Festival Office at 225-366-8473.
