Volunteer at BreyerFest 2023!

BreyerFest wouldn’t be possible without the help of our amazing crew of volunteers!

Sorry, entries are closed.

For our 2023 in-person event, we are looking for adults 18 years old or older to assist in a variety of areas, from assisting guests at the Help Desks to working in the Craft & Activity Tent.  Prior BreyerFest experience is not necessarily required for some positions, but is for some, including BreyerFest Ambassadors.

Applications must be submitted by March 20, 2023. All applicants will be informed of their status on or about April 17, 2023. BreyerFest Volunteers receive a complimentary All-Access ticket pack*, a fun commemorative t-shirt, a limited edition Breyer Volunteer model, and our utmost gratitude in exchange for spending three fun-filled days with us! Models are distributed on Sunday evening following event area pack up and each department's closing meeting.

*Special Run models, which are a part of the All-Access ticket pack, are not complimentary and must be purchased at an additional cost by volunteers interested in purchasing them.

Additional hours above and beyond the ~8 scheduled hours include the training meeting, creating handouts, and other preparatory work necessary for the area you are assigned. All volunteers must satisfactorily complete all of their assigned duties and hours to be eligible for a Breyer Volunteer model. Please take note of the event locations. Some areas are not air-conditioned and if summer weather in Kentucky is challenging for you, please consider applying for positions that are indoors.
• Volunteers cannot participate in other activities during their volunteer shift.  IE: You cannot sit in on a seminar during your BreyerFest Ambassador shift. As well, volunteers cannot participate in the activity of an area where they are a volunteer. IE:  You cannot paint Stablemates models while you are assisting in the Craft Tent.  
• Your assignment(s) and schedule will be constructed solely on information supplied with your application. Please be sure to list all activities and events you plan to attend so that your schedule can be created accordingly. Please list any scheduling conflicts you may have on your application. A reasonable attempt will be made to work around your scheduling conflicts as long as they are known in advance, but accommodation will not be guaranteed.
• All volunteers should plan to attend the 60-minute training meeting for their area on Thursday afternoon, July 13^th, at 2:30 pm at the Kentucky Horse Park before the start of BreyerFest. Your name badge, t-shirt(s) and other materials will be available at this meeting. You must wear your Ambassador t-shirt during your shift(s).
• Volunteer Ambassador models will be distributed at the close of BreyerFest on Sunday. To ensure fairness to everyone, models will be handed out during each area’s closing meeting, which will be staggered based on each area's pack up time; therefore, if selected, please adjust your travel plans back home accordingly.

Volunteers are crucial to the success of BreyerFest and we appreciate all the help and support you give us. Thanks for applying and for being willing to help make BreyerFest: Driving Forward! a memorable event for everyone!
