Volunteers
Part of The German Society of Winnipeg success comes from its volunteer members. We are always looking for Volunteers to help with festivals and activities we are involved in like Folkorama.
You don't have to be a member to help out. Volunteering is one of the simple ways to get involved in the community with a feeling of satisfaction knowing you've helped the community.
Some events we host:
- Folkorama
- Kinder Fest
- Summerfest
Check out our Events page (or Facebook events tab) for a listing of activities we always need volunteers for!
Did we mention we can always use volunteers to help out at Folklorama or special events/dinners held at the Schnitzelhaus.
