🏢 About the local organisation
For the past ten years, the Crest Jazz Vocal association has welcomed a team of young international volunteers to its annual "Crest Jazz Vocal" festival. Recognized in the world of the Jazz scene, this festival welcomes nearly 10,000 spectators each year. For a week, confirmed national and international artists like Jacques Dutronc, Ayo, Swing Machine Big Bang or Stanley Clarke and young talents take turns to deliver quality concerts, which you can attend freely (free pass). This event requires significant material preparation and mobilizes a hundred volunteers. Your mission will be to provide support before, during and after the festival.
💼 What the programme involves
You will participate in the life of the festival supervised by the volunteers of the Crest Jazz Vocal association. You will help with the installation of the dressing rooms, the setting up of the site, the dismantling and storage of all the festival material. During the festival, you will regularly clean the site and the toilets and will participate in waste management while respecting selective sorting. Some evenings, you will participate in the sale at the stands of drinks and souvenirs. The working hours are variable and depend on the need for manpower on the site, 20 hours per week and sometimes on weekends. The rest of the time will be dedicated to leisure and group life. During the camp, your motivation is essential. The tasks on the festival are a bit repetitive but essential for its success. You must be particularly dynamic, enthusiastic and ready to meet the public and the many volunteers present.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying in the town center, in the former teachers’ accommodation located on the first floor of the public school. You will have a toilet and a shower on site. Your living space is located in another building nearby where an additional kitchen, shower and WC will be at your disposal. The meals will be prepared collectively and you will be required to participate in daily tasks (cooking, dish washing, cleaning).
