Welcome to the Movement Detroit Festival 2017 Volunteer Program!
Volunteering for the Movement Electronic Music Festival offers you the unique opportunity to attend the festival, make new friends and experience what it is like working behind-the-scenes to produce a world–renowned event.
The Movement Electronic Music Festival takes place every Memorial Day weekend inside Hart Plaza – Detroit's legendary riverfront destination. More than 130 of electronic music's most illustrious artists, local heavyweights and pioneering legends make their way to the birthplace of techno to perform on one of our six technologically-rich outdoor stages. Movement has garnered numerous awards and recognitions, including "Festival of the Month" by Resident Advisor, "Best Niche Festival" and "Summer 2016’s Must-See Music Festivals” by Rolling Stone magazine, just to name a few.
If you are interested in being a part of the Movement Team for 2017, please take some time to review the following information.
Volunteer Requirements -
- - Movement Team Members must be at least 18 years old, with a valid picture ID. Team Members must bring their government-issued identification card/license/passport with them to check in for each shift.
- Applicants must pay a $15 non-refundable application fee in order to apply.
- All volunteers must sign and submit their volunteer waiver prior to the event.
- Volunteer roles do not include any monetary compensation.
- Team Members are required to check in at the Volunteer Check-in Tent before and after their shift to exchange their ID for the correct credentials.
- Team Members are to refrain from consuming any alcohol or illegal substances while on duty, or prior to shift.
- Team Members are expected to behave in a professional manner, show up on time, and wear appropriate attire for their assigned position.
- Team Members must be respectful of other volunteers, staff, security, performers, and festival attendees.
- Team Members are expected to complete their full shift. Showing up late to a shift or missing a shift may jeopardize your chance to volunteer as a Movement Team Member in the future. If an emergency occurs, please contact the volunteer coordinator immediately so that arrangements can be made.
- While on duty, Team Members must wear their provided shirt. Team Members are not to wear their volunteer shirts while off-duty.
Volunteer Benefits -
One 7-hour shift equals one day pass, so working three shifts will gain you admission into the festival for the entire weekend.
Movement Team Members will also receive a free volunteer t-shirt to wear during their shift, and to keep as a memento of your experience.
Check-in Information - TBA
If you are working a pre- or post-festival shift, you will receive information in a later e-mail that details where you will check in. During the festival (Saturday-Monday) you will check in at the Volunteer Check-in Tent located on the east side of the festival. You will need your ID in order to check in, and we will hold your ID until your shift is over.
Once your shift is complete, please return to the Volunteer Check-In Tent to pick up your ID. Once you have picked up your ID, you are free to leave or enjoy the festival.
