See Western Stampede from the Other Side: Volunteer Today!

Join the 71st year of Western Stampede from the other side this year and volunteer. See the parade before it hits the streets, meet the rodeo contestants, and be a part of the success!

We have opportunities for every night of the celebration, so spend one night serving and the other two playing! Grab your spot now before they fill up!

ALL VOLUNTEERS! Be prepared: Wear comfortable shoes. Walking shoes (or boots on rodeo grounds), hats, sunscreen, protect yourself from the sun!

Most projects are for adults 18 years and older, but some are open to high schoolers.

Please make sure you can really be there before you sign up! Our volunteers are a huge part of the show, and we end up short-handed if people don't show up.
