Volunteering at Femspectives is a fantastic opportunity to work with a young, feminist organisation and be a part of delivering engaging and community-focused events that use films by womxn as a spring-board for participatory discussions.

No previous experience is required, but lots of enthusiasm for feminist storytelling and conversations about feminisms, social issues, and politics.
Volunteers are a crucial part of the Femspectives team. You will welcome audiences, help at the box office to sell merch and tickets, answer questions from festival guests, assist with admission and ushering, distribute + collect feedback sheets, and help with re-organising chairs between events.
We will hold two training sessions before the festival – every volunteer is expected to attend one of these. You can choose which one. [Dates tbc]
Expenses of up to £10/shift will be reimbursed for travel to and from the festival venue.
All shifts will last between 4 and 6 hours with breaks. You must commit to a minimum of 2 shifts. You will be working in teams, but might be asked to fulfil some tasks independently. You will be able to attend film screenings and special events throughout the festival.
We ask you to review our Mission Statement, our Equalities & Diversity Policy as well as our Safe Space Policy. These contain the principles we work towards.
