Be part of the Riverside Eisteddfod 2027
Volunteer with us
The Eisteddfod is run entirely by volunteers – parents, grandparents, teachers, past competitors and friends of the arts. Give a few hours and help hundreds of young performers have a great day on stage.

Working With Children Check
All teachers, support staff and appointed volunteers involved with competitors – backstage, marshalling and at the registration desk – must hold a NSW Working With Children Check verified by the committee by 19 May 2027. Only verified volunteers may work in areas where they interact with children. Front-of-house, canteen and setup roles don’t need one.
Apply free for a volunteer check through Service NSW, then add your number and expiry date when you sign up.
