‘Being a volunteer at the EFG London Jazz Festival is a great way to contribute to the event and have fun at the same time.  As a volunteer, in whatever role, you feel part of the action instead of a mere spectator.  Serious give great briefings and support so you become part of the team straight away.  Once you get inside the Festival it never feels the same again’ (Ian, EFG London Jazz Festival 2016 volunteer)

Learning and Participation – For 2 or 3 volunteers to assist the Learning and Participation Team in administering and delivering multiple participation projects and events throughout the festival. Including artist liaison, general running and logistics support alongside publicity.
