Event Staff

Albany Barn participates in a variety of events both in house at Stage 1 and around the city and Capital Region! We are always looking for energetic, outgoing people to help spread the word about the Barn at these events! The time commitment for events is generally small, consisting of flexible 1-2 hour shifts. Event Staff are usually responsible for answering questions about Albany Barn, assisting in set-up/breakdown as needed, and increasing our community contacts and volunteer base by encouraging people to sign up for our mailing list or as a volunteer. A volunteer orientation will be available prior to all events to ensure our event staff go out with the most up-to-date information about Albany Barn and clear direction for the event they will be working.
