Sign Up To Become A Hull Uk City Of Culture 2017 Volunteer

Following the launch of the Hull UK City of Culture 2017 programme, there are hundreds of exciting opportunities for volunteers across Hull and the East Riding to get involved.

The vision of Hull 2017 is “to deliver 365 days of transformative culture in 2017 through a range of diverse and high-profile events and projects.”

The Volunteer Team within Hull 2017 is working to build a dynamic team of thousands of volunteers who will be recruited, trained and deployed at city-wide events and activities scheduled by the wider Hull 2017 team.

Councillor Richard Burton, portfolio holder for civic wellbeing and culture, said:

“There are lots of different volunteer roles on offer, and you can express an interest in as many as you like. The roles range from practical event support to welcoming visitors.

“Above all else, volunteering with Hull 2017 is a unique opportunity to get a front row seat – play your part in the next major national event and get the chance to say ‘I was there!’ Why not try something new and get involved in a special year of cultural activities?”

Martin Green, CEO and Director of Hull 2017, added:

“Over 3000 people, from students to octogenarians, have already applied. Many have been visible at events this year, but there is still time to sign up to be at the heart of this exciting year for Hull and the East Riding.”

Anyone aged 16 or older on 31 August prior to the start of their volunteering activity can apply to become a volunteer.
