Volunteer
The Friday Harbor Film Festival runs on the energy and dedication of our volunteers—without you, the magic wouldn’t happen! Whether you can give a few hours or a few days, there’s a role waiting for you.
From greeting filmgoers to helping backstage at special events, volunteering comes with great perks—free film tickets, exclusive festival merchandise, and the chance to connect with filmmakers and fellow film lovers.
