Youth (12 to 18) Volunteer Policy and Waiver

It is Festival policy that all volunteers between the ages of 12 and 18 must be the children of an active volunteer or be sponsored by an active adult volunteer who will take responsibility for them.

The Festival reserves the right to determine who will be acceptable as responsible adults. The parent or responsible adult must sign a consent form before a minor is formally assigned to a team.
