A little bit about volunteering:
As a volunteer, you are an important member of our team and the face of Mardi Gras to the community at large as everyone arrives and during the event. By becoming a volunteer, you will be enriched in our wonderful community and meet all kinds of people who may become some of your best friends for life! You will be connecting with your community and without a doubt, have a fabulous time. You will be required to attend a briefing session prior to the event so we can run you through all the by Work Health & Safety policies and practices and let you know what you will be doing on the day, I know, very fun but we really want to make sure you are all safe and ready for your shift!
Mardi Gras relies on you to show up to your shift, if you cannot make it please let us know. Stuff can happen, we understand but we most likely will need to replace your shift as every job counts.
Please always conduct yourself in an appropriate and ethical manner, in accordance with the Mardi Gras ICARE Policy and Code of Conduct. Think about how you would like to be treated, we are all family!
