This opportunity is specifically for people who want to support the delivery of the event over the Youth Beatz festival including our region-wide Fringe programme that will see free events delivered across every Ward area throughout Dumfries and Galloway, and the main event days.
Volunteering roles during the Main Event Days range from photographers to stage support, welfare to customer service, content creators to donation points collectors and more! There are also opportunities for those who would prefer to volunteer behind the scenes in the week leading up to and following the main event with a call out including people who want to give their time to physically transform the site from field to festival!
Chair of Dumfries and Galloway Council’s Education Skills and Community Wellbeing Committee, Councillor Maureen Johnstone said:
