Volunteer Opportunities
We plan on a crowd of over 10,000 people for the “RUSSIAN MOSAIC” Festival IN 2006. Events of this size require dozens of volunteers with positions ranging from directing traffic and registering visitors and guests to participation in Stage performance and Coordination of Businesses. We've listed the volunteer positions below. To volunteer, click the Volunteer Application.
