We have lots of work that needs to be done preparing for the festival and would value your participation.  If you would like to volunteer during the festival, we need ushers and ticket-takers at both the Abbey and the Gaslight for all five days of the festival.  If you would like to volunteer before the festival, we need help at events, with print projects, in the office, and much more.  Some volunteer jobs take a weekly commitment and others can be done on a one-time basis of a few hours.

HOW TO GET STARTED
Check out the VOLUNTEER TABLE for a complete list of volunteer needs and contact Victoria Schmitt, our Volunteer Coordinator, at volunteer@durangofilm.org.  You can also reach her by calling the DIFF office at 970-375-7779 or filling out the ONLINE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION.  Victoria will provide detailed information on the positions of interest to you, so you can decide which one might fit you best.  We look forward to hearing from you.
