Volunteers

Volunteer registration for the 2025 SaskTel SK Jazz Festival is now open!

Volunteer with us

It takes over 400 energetic and dedicated volunteers to make the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival a premier cultural event in Saskatchewan. Volunteers work tirelessly in a variety of positions that include: artist hospitality, transportation, merchandise, promotions, bar-tending, set up, tear down, and venue supervision.

Led by a group of experienced coordinators, your volunteer experience at the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival will be like no other. From meeting other friendly and energetic volunteers, and maybe a world class musician or two, festival volunteers from the young to the young at heart, have told us that volunteering during the festival is the highlight of their summer. In 2023, the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival was also voted the Best Place to Volunteer in the Arts Sector in Saskatoon by Planet S Magazine’s Best of Saskatoon reader poll.

We are always looking for bright, energetic and enthusiastic people to be a part of our volunteer family!
