Calling all volunteers! NW Veg is gearing up for another incredible VegFest this fall and we need your help to make it a success! The 13th Annual Portland VegFest will be held on October 14th & 15th at the Oregon Convention Center. You may be surprised to learn that every year more than 400 volunteers turn out to support this fun & food-filled event. This exciting, multi-day fest celebrates and promotes sustainable, compassionate & healthy food choices and lifestyles. With speakers, demonstrations, classes, exhibits, and of course plenty of free samples of lifestyle products & delicious grub, this event is not to be missed! And you, my dear friends, have the greatest opportunity of all, to attend for FREE!
We are recruiting all types of volunteers with a range of skills to join our fun and inclusive family. There are opportunities to interview speakers, create digital & print marketing, recruit exhibitors, assemble membership bags, poster & promote the event in your community, & so much more. All ages and skills welcome, you just need a positive attitude and enthusiasm for a healthy community. Our committees will meet just once per month leading up to the event, and we are very understanding and flexible with individual schedules. This is all about working together for shared community benefit.
