Volunteer

GIFF relies on the support of volunteers to help run events throughout the year. Volunteers ensure the best film-going experience possible for our patrons, filmmakers, jurors, press and international attendees. As a non-profit organization, we are grateful for our volunteers. GIFF would not be possible without your hard work and dedication.

If you would like to volunteer for GIFF events and other assistance, please APPLY BELOW or email volunteer@greenwichfilm.org.

All volunteers must be 16 years or older. Volunteers who work parties or special events must be 21 years or older.
