Jazzfest Volunteers at the Haus

The Haus gets busy on Jazz Fest days and is looking for some extra evening help. Click the appropriate links below to check the shifts that are available. Please, please don’t sign 2 people up with the same email. See the software notes below about that.

Anyone working with food should wear a comfortable hat.

Volunteer Software Notes
  • Emails: Each volunteer MUST have their OWN email. If you share with a friend or family member or you have a friend who wants to volunteer but has no email address, please contact the volunteer coordinators and we’ll take care of it manually. (If you sign 2 people up with the same email, it will squash you into 1 person and make a big mess. Please don’t!)
  • Cancel: You can cancel a shift by clicking on the “Cancel RSVP” button in your email. You can then sign up for a different shift. However, if you change your mind and want the exact same shift in the same booth back, sometimes it lets you do it and even sends a confirmation email. But it doesn’t stick. For now when you do that, email the volunteer coordinators and we can make sure it sticks.
  • Texts: It sends out text reminders about twice per event. At the same time an email goes out. The emails have much more information like shift time. If you don’t want text reminders, leave your cellphone number out. There is a check box on the form to subscribe to more future promotional texts from Deutsches Haus. You do NOT have to check this box is all you want is the few texts related to this festival. We are not planning to use the promotional text option at this time. You can also unsubscribe from the text messages.
  • There is a “Notes” box on the sign up form for any notes having to do with physical limitations (need a stool?) or other things your captain will need to know like that you have to leave early, etc. The Note box is also the place to say you’re working for service hours, so we can prepare forms for you.
  • You receive your assignment email when you sign up and then again the day before your shift. Save that email for the links in it.

If you notice a problem or a typo, please report it to the volunteer coordinators  here. 

Do you have a question? Email the Volunteer Coordinators here. 

  • A current Responsible Vendor permit, on file with our volunteer coordinator, is necessary to work in any booth serving alcohol. See below for more details .
Responsible Vendor licenses for any events

Working in Beer or other alcohol serving booths requires training and licensing.

A Responsible Vendor license is necessary to work in any booth serving alcohol. Prior volunteers should check their license expiration date! We will need proof of your RV license before you can be scheduled. Old temporary licenses aren’t enough.

The Volunteer Coordinator will need a copy of your license to keep on file. Instructions to print a copy of the ATC license, HERE

Send an electronic copy of your ATC RV license to the Volunteer Coordinator. Also, keep your permit (on your phone or on a piece of paper) with you any day you come to volunteer at the Fest.

Want to get a permit? A class is being offered at the Haus on September 14 at 10am. Limited seating. Pay and register in advance here.
More ways to get one online: Instructions on Getting a Permit – click here.

Having an RV license does not automatically mean that you get to pour beer all the time. You may be asked to serve in other booths such as wine or food booths as well.

Responsible Vendor License

To receive a license to serve alcohol, you may take an online class approved by the Louisiana ATC. The Haus is also offering a class on September 14.

Questions? Email the Volunteer Coordinator here.

Lawn Team

We need a pool of weekly volunteers to mow, trim, edge, and weed whack (general grounds maintenance).

The more volunteers we get, the easier it will be each week. The crew so far has saved the Haus thousands of dollars.
