September 5, 2008; Monterey, CA; The Monterey Jazz Festival is looking for volunteers for the 51st Monterey Jazz Festival, presented by Verizon! As a way of seeing the Festival up close, volunteering is a great experience for students, seniors and everybody in between. Whether you like working behind the scenes or in a crowd, volunteers are needed starting Monday, September 15, continuing through Monday, September 22.  We would greatly appreciate your volunteering early in the Festival week, as we need help setting up for the Festival. Volunteers typically work six-hour shifts, but are able to stay on the grounds afterwards to enjoy the music.

To apply to be a volunteer for the Monterey Jazz Festival, please visit the Festival’s website, www.montereyjazzfestival.org and look for the “Volunteer for the Festival” button on the homepage. You will find volunteer information and an application you can print out, fax or email to the Festival. You will be notified of your acceptance, job description and hours based on your selected preferences by the MJF Volunteer Coordinator.
