Midsumma Festival - Queer Greens Stall Volunteering!

It's been a massive year for the Queer Greens, with some incredible wins on protecting our community from vilification, including queer people in the census for the first time & reforms on intersex interventions.

But we can't stop here: across the country, queer rights - particularly the right for trans youth to access health care and support - are under threat. With increasing polling for far-right fringe groups, it is more important than ever that we show up with strength and numbers to show that queer rights are non-negotiable.

What Does Volunteering Entail: We will need your help for at least one 2-hour shift to help ensure our tables have active, energetic volunteers who can direct our supporters to our petitions and materials. You don't need to be a political pro - we will have the details for you on the day, and an experienced activist on hand to answer any questions.

Typically, we like to have enough volunteers to always enable a few people to have a break and some nice long chats with people who approach the stall, and each other. It's always a lot of fun!

Allies Welcome!

What to Wear: Fabulous and Green, but proudly no dress code enforced. We have materials on the day to glam up your look. Just remember to dress for a warm day!

What's Next: After registering, a volunteer coordinator will be in touch to help organise your best shift times, and give a quick briefing.

Timing: The event runs from 11am-6pm, but our set up is from 9am. A small handful of volunteers will be volunteering for the set up time.

Finding Us: We are at Stall I8 in the Picnic Precinct. We're about three stalls down from the Picnic Stage, along the foothpath. Carnival Map | Stalls Map

Accessibility: The Midsumma Carnival is wheelchair and pram accessible - you can see details on accessible paths, toilets, changing rooms, drop-off bays and parking here. We have booked a double stall, so volunteers requiring extra space to volunteer will have room.
