Join the Staff of SFIT 2019
It takes a village to create this monster of a festival - and we need YOU to help tame the beast!
We are looking for individuals who are responsible, good communicators, can deliver on time, have an eye for quality, and are just all-around good people!
Below is the list of positions we are seeking. Most of these positions will take up a lot of your free time in January and February 2019. If you work a full time job AND spend a lot of time rehearsing and performing, or have other hobbies, then this might not be the project for you. If there are more specific times for any position, that (and specific skills needed) are listed next to each position.
