*THIS IS NEW* We need almost 2,000 volunteers to make Creation run as smoothly as possible. People from many different denominations and walks of life come together to serve as part of Creation's small expression of the Body of Christ. It's truly AMAZING! Each year we are faced with a gap of approximately 25% in various areas due to cancellations or no-shows. We understand that emergencies come up, but please know that not only does the Creation Festival rely on you, so do those attending. We understand that it may take a little longer for some to commit to being a Full-Time Volunteer. Our hope is that you pray and consider this opportunity (and ask your parents if necessary) when choosing to serve at the Creation Festival.

As a Creation Festival Volunteer I am committed to doing my best for the Lord and for His glory. As a servant of Jesus Christ and of the Creation Festival I commit to treating all volunteers, festivalgoers, supervisors, support staff and administration staff with the utmost love and respect as exemplified by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As a Creation Festival Volunteer I am committed to being drug and alcohol free while serving at the festival. I am also committed to not giving drugs or alcohol to anyone else.
Creation Festival volunteers are expected to always maintain a high standard of conduct, keeping in mind what would best represent the Lord Jesus Christ at all times. Creation Festival volunteers should refrain from participating in illegal drugs, alcohol consumption, illicit sex, adultery, fornication, cheating, gossip, strife, rebellion, ungodly attitudes, police arrest, plagiarism, or use of profane language. The practice of these or any other areas of misconduct, which are not in accordance with the beliefs of Creation Festivals, are grounds for release from duties or denial of volunteer application.
Any person convicted of a sex crime under Megan's law or similar State reporting agency is barred from serving on volunteer or paid staff for the safety and protection of participants.
This code of conduct applies at all times.
Generally speaking, we expect each person to act in a mature and responsible way at all times. If you have any questions concerning any work or safety rules, or any of the unacceptable activities listed below, please contact the Creation Festivals office for an explanation.
If you commit any of the actions listed below, or any other action not specified but similarly serious, you may be released from your duties pending an investigation of the situation.

Q: How old must I be in order to volunteer?
A: You need to be 14 by the time the festival starts.
Q: My sister is 12, can she hang out with us while we're serving?
A: For the safety of the volunteer, the young person, and our attendees, we do not allow persons under 14 to serve on staff. We also can't allow non-volunteers to 'hang out' with those who are working.
Q: What kind of identification is required at check-in?
A: You must provide a valid, government-issued if you are 18 or older. If you are 17 and under, a school ID or another ID with your photo on it will work, if your parent or guardian accompanies you to check-in.
Q: Do you provide food, sleeping accommodations and/or transportation for volunteers?
A: No, volunteers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the festival, as well as their own food, tent and sleeping equipment. There are some food vendors on-site during the festival.
Q: What day must I arrive?
A: If you are a full-time volunteer you are required to enter the festival on Monday evening between 6 and 10 PM.
Q: I would like to serve with a friend. How do we indicate that?
A: On the confirmation step of the application, you will see a box in which you can type final comments. Put your request in that box. We work hard to try to make those requests happen!
Q: Can I just help with setup?
A: Setup is by invitation and is open only to people who are volunteering during the festival.
Q: I am leading a group of people. How do we all sign up as a group to volunteer?
A: We don't have a group sign-up option. Please have each person submit their own application.
