Festival/Event Friends Program
Serve When You Can
Love to volunteer, love the arts, but have only a limited amount of time available? You can join the Festival/Event team of volunteers, who assist with many volunteer opportunities at the Kennedy Center Campus.
Consisting of hundreds of individuals ages 18 to 93, with more joining every day, we could not run our volunteer program without this terrific team of volunteers.
Festival/Event Friends enjoy exclusive benefits based on the hours they give.
