-
Volunteer greeters warmly welcome the enthusiastic guests who arrive each day to experience craft. Greeters are positioned in key locations throughout the space to help answer questions, provide directions, and create a fun, welcoming atmosphere for attendees.
-
ACC works with a local artist or arts organization to provide a free printing activity for guests at fairs and marketplaces. ACC members receive a free tote, or guests can purchase one to print. The tote printing volunteer assists the printer with assisting guests, printing, and other tasks. No printing experience is required.
-
Many American Craft Council events require guests to register to attend. Handheld ticket scanners are used at the entrance of events to scan registration codes and sometimes physical tickets before attendees enter. Ticket scanning volunteers also help answer guests’ questions, sometimes direct them to different show locations, and are generally one of the first smiling faces our guests interact with at an American Craft Council event.
-
A volunteer floater is often the “jack of all trades” regarding volunteers. They usually help out with a little bit of everything, including supporting ACC staff and event exhibitors. This role allows volunteers to see much of how an event runs “from the inside” and helps the American Craft Council keep things running smoothly.
