The Next LIVE Festival will be on JUNE 16, 2024 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. See You There - It Will Be Great To Come Together Again!

Volunteers

More than 200 volunteers help us on the day of the Festival, selling pop and t-shirts and staffing cashier and information booths.  While producing the Festival takes a tremendous amount of work during the months leading up to the big day, we could not physically run the various activities without the help of these volunteers.  Be part of the Festival Team and wear your Festival Volunteer T-Shirt with pride!

Apply online or print the application form and mail or email it to us.  If you have any questions regarding volunteering, please call 847-933-3000 or email us at Volunteers@JewishFestival.org

The Festival is produced by the Jewish Production Organization for Cultural Events and Theater (P.O.C.E.T.). The Jewish P.O.C.E.T. is run by an all-volunteer Steering Committee which consists of professionals in the fields of art, music, theater, dance, radio, television, communications, community relations, education, engineering, finance and technology.  If you would like to be part of the Steering Committee that works over the months to plan and produce the Festival, give us a call at 847-933-3000.
