Ambassadors Shifts: 1.5-2hrs between 12-4pm.
Ambassadors provide a key role in connecting with the visitors to the Platzl. Volunteers greet and distribute information on the day’s activities.

Gate Security/Greeters Shifts: 1.5-2hrs during evening concerts and Oktoberfest. Volunteers will greet concert goers, oversee donations, monitor/control access to the event site – entry and exit from the concert venue, ensure no outside alcohol is brought into the concert and no
alcohol leaves the venue. Must be at least 19 years of age.

Other Positions: 
There are always lots of other things to do including organizational help if you’d like to get even more involved.
