Volunteer for Puppets Up!
Puppets Up! is a unique, volunteer-run festival with a place for everyone: youth, retirees, families, working folk…whoever you are, whatever talents you have to share, join the volunteer team that makes it all happen!
Are you a student looking for new challenges, to develop new skills, or accumulate community hours – volunteer! Are you working but want to explore a great community opportunity? A retiree, or new resident keen to apply what you know in a creative way? Are you eager to make new friends? Volunteer!
Volunteering for Puppets Up! means you get to choose both the role you’d be great at, or one that you’d really like to try, and the shifts that you would prefer. We have an experienced volunteer committee that will work closely with all of those who step up to the plate by offering support to make your experience the best it can be.
- If you have questions, email us at volunteers@puppetsup.com.

We’re thrilled to welcome you on board – but beware, some of our volunteers have been known to come back year after year after year.
Get ready – it’s going to be magic!
