We host a mandatory volunteer orientation before the festival to familiarize our volunteers with programming, venues, roles, and accessibility training. If you are unable to attend for any reason, please contact volunteers@ffdnorth.com. Excused absences will not prevent your ability to volunteer.
Volunteer roles include but are not limited to Festival Greeters, Festival Runners, Ticket Scanners, Ushers, Team Leaders, Airport/Hotel Greeters, Office Administrative Assistants, and Merchandise Table Support.
There is no quota of shifts to be completed, however, volunteers who complete three or more shifts receive a complimentary ticket to selected FFDN performances.
Yes! Volunteering for FFDN qualifies you for a VAACT (Volunteer Awards for Arts and Culture in Toronto) stamp. To be eligible for an FFDN VAACT Stamp, you must complete 4 shifts within one festival season, and have no record of NO SHOWS- That is, absence without prior notice or communication. Your stamp is counted towards the following year of the VAACT awards (eg. volunteering at FFDN 2026 allows you to attend VAACT 2027).

Internship opportunities with FFDN provide a hands-on introduction to the inner workings of a tightly knit performing arts organization. We are committed to providing interns with one-on-one guidance and mentorship in exchange for course credit. Generally, internships run during the spring semester March-June. Internships that fall outside of this period may be considered on a case by case basis. Please contact us to inquire about internship opportunities at least one month prior to your preferred term or start date.
If you are passionate about the arts and eager to be part of a fun and dynamic team, we encourage you to reach out to us. Alternatively, please consult with your student advisor or internship coordinator as an internship opportunity with FFDN may already be available directly through your study program.
We are not currently hiring. Stay tuned for future opportunities!
