    Description

    WBUR Festival volunteer opportunities

    The WBUR Festival is back for 2026! Join us for lively conversations, podcast tapings, musical performances and plenty of surprises. Just like year one, it’ll be serious stuff — and wicked fun, too.

    In 2025, our lineup featured newsmakers and innovators with big stories to tell, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s leading infectious disease expert; Ina Garten, cookbook author and television host; and Roxane Gay, New York Times-bestselling author of Bad Feminist. Plus friends from WBUR and NPR, like On Point’s Meghna Chakrabarti and Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!’s Peter Sagal.

    You just had to be there. And you won’t want to miss out on year two.

    We're looking for volunteers to help with day of elements including check in, speaker management, ushering, etc... All volunteers are able to attend the festival for free outside of their scheduled volunteer shift(s).

    Location

    On-site

    Boston University

    890 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, Massachusetts, US
