Revels Volunteer Opportunities

It would be impossible for Revels to succeed without the help of our dedicated volunteers!  Thank you!

This time of year Revels is especially grateful for the hundreds of volunteers who gift us with their time and talent in order to make RiverSing and Midwinter Revels happen. We couldn’t do it without you!!  Perhaps you might help Revels by filling a volunteer shift or two.
