We are looking for one or two volunteers to help us in advance with Out in the City this year.
Out in the City is one of our signature events, with more than 70 stallholders. We need people to help us review stall applications, communicate with stall holders and manage the behind the scenes administration of making Out in the City happen.
The work can be split into two parts, or if you're keen to tackle the whole thing please express this in your application.
You will be working alongside a WPF committee member who was part of the OitC delivery last year.
These roles can both be done entirely from home.
Your skills might include:
Good at email communication and managing inboxes
Admin and Google Sheets skills
Good at working with a team to co ordinate large events
Comfortable following up with people

Wellington Pride Festival is the longest-running annual Pride celebration in Aotearoa, brought to life by a team of volunteers each year. We have a Committee, lead by 2 co-chairs, with a secretary and 8 general members.
The first Pride celebrations in Te Whanganui-ā-Tara were organised as part of campaigning for Homosexual Law Reform in 1986. Wellington Pride Festival traces back to Newtown Lesbian and Gay Fair, held at Newtown School and themed ‘a Fair for a fair law’.
Now, Wellington Pride Festival is an ever-growing annual Festival celebrating our rainbow whānau in Te Whanganui-ā-Tara. Our largest event, Out in the City, is a fair which attracts thousands from across Aotearoa and beyond.
What started as a day and grew to a weekend is now two full weeks of rainbow events made by and for the LGBTQIA*/MVPFAFF+ community. Our guiding document Te Whāriki sets our strategic priorities for the future: a more inclusive and Te Tiriti o Waitangi-centred Pride Festival.
The Festival runs each March in Te Whanganui-ā-Tara.
