Volunteer

Utah Film Center needs volunteers! We have opportunities for you to assist us with box office & ticketing, clubhouse & workshop activities, event load in & load out, crowd management, general Festival support, and more. Without your help, we couldn’t produce Tumbleweeds, the only independent, international film festival for children & youth in the Mountain West. We thank you for your support! Sign up today!

Volunteering at Tumbleweeds

  • This year’s Festival is at the Viridian Event Center in West Jordan.
  • As Tumbleweeds is truly an inter-generational Festival, we welcome those who wish to bring their children, grandchildren, or nieces and nephews to volunteer alongside them. (Volunteers 16 & under must be accompanied by an Adult/Parent/Guardian.)

Volunteer Incentives for Tumbleweeds

  • Access to the Staff & Volunteer break room with complimentary snacks and drinks.
  • First-Time Volunteers will receive our Utah Film Center “Film” in multiple languages shirt to wear as their uniform for the day–and keep for future volunteering!
  • Returning Volunteers will receive a Utah Film Center water bottle and stickers that show how many years they have volunteered with us!
  • We will also have a button-making station for all volunteers to make buttons of their choice and show off on their volunteer lanyards

Volunteer Shifts

Whether you love to watch films, want to explore the hands on activities at the Clubhouse, or do both, a day pass is your access to the Festival!

Each day pass includes the following perks: In-person films on a first come, first served basis

  • Clubhouse activities.
  • Free UTA transit to the Festival at Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center in Taylorsville
 

Each member of your group needs a pass to access Tumbleweeds. Workshops require additional registration and fee. 

Choose a Saturday day pass, a Sunday day pass, or both! 

Yes! Keep me updated on announcements for pass sales, ticket availability, film schedule, and workshop sales for 2024 Tumbleweeds Film Festival for Kids, April 19-20.
