Volunteers make our festival possible! If you are interested in joining our community of 200+ volunteers, fill out the form below!
The Volunteer Form for the 2026 Festival Will Be Posted in the Fall.
As always, our festival would not be possible without the support of our volunteer community! We rely on dedicated volunteers to generously devote their time and energy to the Festival. For the 16th anniversary festival, we’re looking for a dedicated team of in-person volunteers to support the festival on campus.
Volunteering for the Athena Film Festival is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Every year, volunteers (most of whom return year after year) help create a platform to celebrate fierce and fearless women leaders both on screen and behind the camera! Ready to join our volunteer community? Please read the FAQ. Our Volunteer Manager will be in touch with you in January to process your volunteer application.
When will I need to be available?
You can sign up for certain shifts during the festival that works with your schedule. You are not required to be available for the entirety of the festival.
How will I know what to do?
There will be volunteer training sessions before the festival where you will learn your assignment and meet other volunteers.
This is a great opportunity to meet fellow film enthusiasts and network with local industry professionals.
What You Will Receive!
Volunteers get an inside look into how the festival is run while connecting with our amazing staff to put on a festival in celebration of fierce and fearless women leaders! Plus, volunteers who work two or more shifts will receive the Volunteer Pass which gets you into any film, panel, or masterclass that is not sold out.
