From Our Volunteers

"I've been volunteering at Scotfest for 8 years. It's the highlight of my fall! The people you meet—both volunteers and guests—make it so special. Plus, you get to watch all the competitions and performances during your breaks!"

- Jennifer K., Gate Volunteer

"Started volunteering with my daughter when she was 16. Now she's in college and we still come back every year to volunteer together. It's become a family tradition and we've made lifelong friends."

- David M., Competition Support

"Best volunteer gig in Tulsa! You work a few hours, get free admission, free food, a t-shirt, and you're helping an amazing event. What's not to love? The volunteer team feels like family."

- Sarah T., Information Booth
