Nebraska State Fair Volunteers
The Nebraska State Fair (NSF) is Nebraska’s premier family event. With the move to Grand Island in 2010, the NSF has an opportunity be better than ever! The NSF has been entertaining its visitors for 141 years and the tradition will continue. Nebraska’s rich history and heritage will be showcased and the end result will be one that all Nebraskans will be proud of.
Volunteers are a very vital part of the success of the NSF. The dedication and service that our volunteers will put forward will pay huge dividends to the success and momentum for future State Fairs. The Nebraska State Fair cannot function without a strong volunteer base. From hospitality to helping out with educational and children’s programs, there truly is something for everyone who wishes to be a part of the beginning of a new era of the NSF.
Who We Are
NSF volunteers will come from all walks of life and have a variety of interests and talents. Some of our volunteers will be retired, some will be in school, some will be stay-at-home moms and some will be respected members of our business community. The one thing that they all have in common is a big smile! Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age or be assigned to work with a parent or guardian or involved in a group with adequate supervision.
What We Do
NSF volunteers provide support during the Fair and during the move-in days immediately prior to the Fair. Each volunteer shift will be four (4) hours in duration. The option to sign up for multiple shifts is available and encouraged! However, shifts will not be limited to two and none can overlap or be accounted for as two at one time. Free Fair gate admission will be provided for your daily commitment. Volunteer opportunities are available for all special skills and preferences.
A comprehensive, mandatory training program will be held for all volunteers. The NSF wants to ensure that you are fully comfortable and knowledgeable regarding your volunteer duties. Volunteers will learn about their respective job duties as well as receiving an overview of the Fair itself. During the training sessions, volunteers also receive their official NSF volunteer shirt to wear during the Fair.
