Did you Know?
Volunteering
is Good For You!
Whether you’re a career participant or a weekend patron–you love the faire and you want to give back to the community that brings you happiness. In fact, there are some jobs that only our patrons can do, while others are working to make the magic of faire happen.
AMPLIFY THE JOY! You’ll meet new people, make new friends, and have the sense of satisfaction that you’re doing good and giving back to your community. And, volunteering also provides many benefits to both mental and physical health.
Volunteering helps counteract the effects of stress, anger, anxiety, and depression.
Volunteering increases self-confidence and gives you a sense of purpose.
Volunteering makes you happy.

Asia
Board Member and VolunteerRenaissance Faires are places of magic and wonder, made possible by a variety of very creative and talented people, who come together to form an amazing community-
a community that has always supported me, accepted me, and brought me great joy! I consider it a gift to be able to give back to this community that has given me so much.

Kimbelle
Hair Braider and VolunteerAs a Renaissance faire participant in the United States, knowing that an organization like RESCU has my back makes traveling easier and a little less anxious.
Sean
Shoppe Manager and VolunteerWorking with RESCU and hearing from people that I see for 9 weekends out of a year and consider family that have been helped by RESCU makes me feel great! Whenever I have a question or a suggestion for improvement, I'm always met with a straight forward answer and given the time to fully explain a suggestion before they react with either explanations or excitement to try out the suggestion in the future.
Katy
VolunteerEach year I look forward to the time I volunteer and help at the RESCU variety shows. It's a great date night with my dad and I love having the opportunity to support the Renaissance community. It's very reassuring knowing that there is a group like RESCU to help support the people that I care about.

RESCU is powered by volunteers.
RESCU has a small staff, but so much of our work is done by committee members and volunteers on the ground, that there's always room for more helping hands. Year-round, our volunteers are working to keep our wheels in motion!
RESCU needs medical healthcare providers, too!
RESCU works tirelessly to provide wellness workshops and low or no cost health clinic events to our community all over the country. If you are a healthcare provider willing to share your services, we need you!
