How are the volunteers selected? We select our volunteers based on a number of criteria, including but not limited to: skills, interest, enthusiasm and experience. Please fill out the application attached as completely as possible. Many of you have already done the Survey Monkey questionnaire; however we do need you to complete this application form to determine the best fit.
Is there an age requirement? You must be at least 18 to volunteer
How many positions are there? We will be utilizing 500+ volunteers over this five day period
What do I get for volunteering? In addition to getting to see the inner-workings of a premiere festival, each volunteer will receive entrance to one day of music events. You’ll have at least one day with no volunteer commitments so that you can take advantage of this ticket. You’ll get a t-shirt and maybe even some other great freebies provided by our amazing sponsors
Is the there an application fee? Modeling after Wanderlust, Bonnaroo and Bumbershoots festivals, there is a $15 non-refundable application fee to submit and process your application and to cover the cost of your volunteer t-shirt. Additionally, we require that you keep a credit card on file with us until the completion of the festival. If you neglect to fulfill your scheduled volunteer duties, then your card will be charged $200, which is the cost of the festival passes provided to you. To date, Wanderlust has never had to charge anyone and we hope the same for BottleRock. We will contact you soon regarding a time to meet and understand what volunteering for BottleRock Napa Valley entails.
