Oxfam is calling out for volunteers at summer music festivals and gigs. They have a large range of shows and events that they will be looking to help fight poverty and engaging with festival-goers on food and climate justice campaigns. If that’s your thing and you want to also be at some of the biggest shows of the summer. Read on.
“Oxfam Ireland is calling on music fans to help fight poverty by volunteering with the charity at this summer’s festivals and gigs.
Over the next few months Oxfam will need volunteer stewards and activists to join their team at various festivals like Body and Soul, Belfast Mela, Longitude and Electric Picnic.
They will also need volunteers for Paul Weller, Elbow, Jack White, The Coronas and Biffy Clyro in Kilmainham, along with Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Kings of Leon, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis in Marlay Park.
Volunteering as an activist means engaging festival-goers with Oxfam’s new Food and Climate Justice campaign which demands that governments and big business take action to cut emissions, help farmers deal with changing weather and make sure there’s enough food for everyone on the planet.
Volunteer stewards work as low-level security at the events with the money donated by festival organisers going to Oxfam’s work, such their current emergency response in South Sudan.
Volunteers can apply by visiting Oxfam Ireland’s website at www.oxfamireland.org/festivals“
