The volunteer database of Adelaide Festival is managed by the South Australian Festival Volunteer Network (FVN), an independent, not-for-profit service connecting volunteers to festivals and events in South Australia. Facilitated by Festival City Adelaide, South Australia’s peak body for festivals and events, the FVN aims to support and enhance the quality of experience for both volunteers and participating festivals in their volunteerism journey. The FVN utilises the online Volunteer Management Platform Be Collective which provides a centralised online network of volunteers for festivals and events across South Australia, promotes a sense of community, a user-friendly experience, and a smooth transition for those volunteering across multiple festivals.
