Volunteer

Our volunteers are an essential piece of Festival success. As a volunteer, you will meet wonderful people and, of course, see great films! Whether you're a Festival newbie or a seasoned volunteer, anyone over the age of 16 years-old can join the team. From students to retirees, the only requirement we have for our Festival and year-round volunteers is a love for exceptional films!

What do Jewish Film Institute Volunteers do?

Volunteers are needed during the Festival and throughout the year to help with events, ushering, press check-in, ticket taking, and much more. We rely on the help and generosity of nearly 100 volunteers every year to make JFI's programs welcoming experiences for all.

Volunteer benefits include:

  • Vouchers for SFJFF and other Jewish Film Institute screenings and events
  • Exclusive SFJFF T-shirt
  • Admittance to the volunteer appreciation party
