Volunteer Opportunities with the Houston Latino Film Festival

The Houston Latino Film Festival cannot do what we do without the help and support of our volunteers. You are the unsung heroes that produce an amazing festival every year and provide an unforgettable event to our community.

We would like to welcome you to apply to become a volunteer for the 2025 Houston Latino Film Festival (March 12 – 16) and other events throughout the year. We encourage our volunteers to enjoy both behind the scenes view of the festival as well as being entertained as audience members with a complimentary All-Acess badge. Its a great event to network and meet like-minded people working in the film and entertainment industry.

All volunteer positions play an important role in the success of the festival. Once your application is completed, please make plans to attend one of the volunteer orientations—scheduled on weekends prior to the festival. Our volunteer coordinator will be in contact with you to discuss scheduling for this year.

Please pick your primary area of interest when volunteering at the festival. We will do our best to schedule you per your Skill and Interest request, but due to the hectic and unpredictable nature of the festival, volunteers may be asked to change positions or take on different responsibilities as needed.
