The NC Folk Festival is looking for bold, creative, and social-savvy college students to join our team of Official NCFF Ambassadors! If you love creating engaging content, meeting new people, and experiencing unique events, this is your moment.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Create & Post Killer Content: Drop at least one video a month hyping up NCFF on your personal social feeds leading up to the festival.

• Own Your Campus: Be the face of NCFF at your school! Hang posters, hand out flyers (we provide them), and get your peers excited.

• Be the Star at NCFF: Go full-on creator mode during the fest! Think interviews, behind-the-scenes, "day in the life" moments, epic highlight reels—you’ll need to deliver at least three quality videos.

Who You Are:

• Obsessed with TikTok, Reels, and stories? Perfect.

• Confident chatting with strangers and getting them on camera.

• Creative, self-starting, and ready to take initiative.

• Reliable. Consistent. You get things DONE.

What You'll Get (Besides Major Clout):

• An exclusive VIP weekend at NC Folk Fest in Greensboro!

• Free merch to rock your NCFF pride.

• Hotel stay covered (if you need it).

• Food is on us while you're on duty.

• Shoutouts and tags on NCFF's official social channels (hello, exposure!).

• All promo materials you need to slay the pre-festival game.

This is a chance to grow your brand, meet cool creatives, and build real-world influencer skills.

Are you in? Reach out to Careers@ncfolkfestival.com  and let’s make magic together! 

CONTENT CREATORS
Help capture and share the vibe in real time. You'll get a media badge and be part of our day-of team covering performances, food, fashion, and festival magic for our social channels.

PHOTOGRAPHY + VIDEOGRAPHY
Assigned a specific artist or scene, you'll document the festival visually—from the front row to the quiet moments behind the stage.

ARTIST BUDDIES
Support an artist for the weekend. Escort them to sound checks, help with merch, and experience what it’s like to be part of a touring performer’s world.

MUSIC LOGGING TEAM
Audiophiles and music nerds—this one's for you. Capture detailed notes from each performance for our festival archives. Think live liner notes meets field recording.

ARTS ADMIN INTERNS
Support the back-end brilliance. Tasks might include playlist curation, helping update our website, and assembling techbooks. Most of this can be done remotely—with weekly in-office check-ins.

Who can apply?
Anyone 18+ with a passion for the arts. No college or university affiliation required. If you’re looking to earn school credit for your work, we’ll help make that happen.

Is it paid?
Not yet. We’re a volunteer-powered nonprofit and still working on securing funding to change that (fingers crossed for 2026!).

What’s the time commitment?
Some roles start in the summer, some are during festival weekend, and some are both. You’ll tell us your availability in the form.

When will I hear back?
We’ll reach out if your skills and availability match an opportunity—we get a lot of interest, so thanks for your patience!
