Role Overview Diwali Festival of Lights Volunteer Booth Lead
As a Volunteer Booth Lead, you are the central nervous system of the festival’s operations. You are responsible for ensuring our dedicated team of volunteers is checked in, energized, and equipped to create a seamless experience for all attendees.

Command Center Support: Serve as the primary hub for volunteer questions, providing directions to specific stations like the Swagat Committee or the Laddoo distribution area.
Shift Management: Monitor volunteer rosters to ensure all stations are fully staffed throughout the festival, coordinating breaks and floating "relief" volunteers where needed.
Resource Distribution: Manage the supply of water, snacks, and "volunteer kits," ensuring the team stays hydrated and motivated.
On-the-Fly Briefings: Provide quick, enthusiastic orientations for late arrivals or last-minute recruits, ensuring everyone understands their role and the festival’s safety protocols.
Who You Are
