VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are the backbone of the festival. From welcoming guests at the gate to supporting events behind the scenes, every volunteer plays a meaningful role in creating an experience that thousands of people will remember.
If you love food, love people, and love the NWT, we want you on the team.
We are an inclusive, equal-opportunity organization
The NWT Culinary Festival is an equal opportunity provider and welcomes and supports people from all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion or nationality.
