Volunteer



Without you, there will be no TIFF.

TIFF Volunteers are a major driving force behind our mission to transform the way we see the world through film. Volunteers support a broad range of initiatives, including our annual Festival in September, year-round screenings, outreach initiatives, Member events, and much more.



Volunteer Applications for TIFF 50 are now closed.

We hope you’ll join us as a patron at the Festival in September. If you’re interested in hearing about future Volunteer opportunities — including the next round of Festival Volunteer recruitment in late Spring 2026 — please subscribe to TIFF Volunteer Alerts to receive updates via email.

If you have any questions about volunteering, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you.

Returning Volunteers

Please note that it is now past the deadline to indicate interest in returning as a Volunteer for TIFF 50.
We are no longer accepting returning Volunteers at this time. If you have completed the requirements of the Volunteer programme in 2023 or 2024, you will be eligible to return in 2026. If you last volunteered prior to these years, you will need to re-apply.

If you have any questions, please contact the Volunteer Office at volunteers@tiff.net.

The Volunteer Award for Arts and Culture in Toronto (VAACT)

TIFF is proud to be a contributing member of VAACT, a program to recognize volunteers who support multiple arts and culture events and festivals throughout the year in the City of Toronto. Awards are given to volunteers who complete the minimum requirements with at least three participating VAACT organizations throughout the year. VAACT culminates each year on International Volunteer Day, December 5, with an awards ceremony to acknowledge and thank our volunteers for their contributions making Toronto a more vibrant, cultural city.
