Work for Eastwind

Given the magnitude of the Eastwind Festival, the logistics are going to be mind-boggling. But we believe everything is possible even with a small team if they are organised and know the value of time, how to use their resources and think on their feet.

The Eastwind team is looking for volunteers to help out in various ways. Please find below a Volunteer Programme we have charted out. If you are interested in working with us to gain experience, you can email us here stating some of your previous work experience and specifying your preferred work area. At the end of the Festival, each volunteer will be given a letter from Prospect, recognizing their contribution to the Festival.
