2024 Islands Folk Festival Volunteer Code of Conduct

Thank you so much for volunteering to make the Islands Folk Festival a wonderful experience for all of us! We truly value your contribution! Please read and sign this document. If you witness violations of this code please fill out an incident report available at the volunteer check in. This is how we can continue to show respect for you and each other.

All volunteers must adhere to the following:

  • Represent the Islands Folk Festival to the public in a positive light and refrain from anything that would intentionally embarrass or impede the success of the festival.

  • All volunteers will abide by the policy of zero tolerance of violence, harassment, non-medical drug use, and the consumption of alcohol while on shift.

  • Treat the public, performers, staff, and other volunteers with respect and courtesy. If a problem should arise, please defer to the Crew Coordinator or Crew Co-Coordinator for resolution.

  • Make every effort to fulfill shift commitments, missing a shift without a satisfactory explanation may result in not being allowed to volunteer in the future.

  • No volunteer shall use for his/her own advantage any property or money belonging to the Islands Folk Festival. Any volunteer found to be less than honest and trustworthy will be dismissed.

  • The volunteer must make the Cowichan Folk Guild aware of any previous convictions regarding criminal activity.

  • Crew Coordinators or Crew C0-Coordinators must set a positive example for other volunteers. They must be prepared to respond to greater expectations, to take on more responsibility and to follow through on commitments. Failure to fulfill commitments will result in their replacement for the next festival.

  • Smoking is permitted in designated areas only. This is an important policy of Providence Farm and must be strictly adhered to.
