Volunteer

It takes hundreds of people behind the scenes to pull off an event as large as Spring Harvest, so we rely on a team of volunteers to help out! Join us this year and you'll be part of a brilliant team who get to experience Spring Harvest by serving.

Why volunteer?

Apart from the heartfelt thanks from both us and the guests, you will receive:

  • Free accommodation (shared)
  • 3 meals a day
  • Ministry gift
  • Free Programme Planner & mug
  • 10% discount at the Spring Harvest Stand
  • Privilege (discount) prices for Spring Harvest Holidays in France

Teams and availability

Prayer and Pastoral Support volunteers

If you’re part of the prayer or pastoral ministry in your church – we’d love to hear from you! Each year, lots of guests give up some of their time at Spring Harvest to support the full-time prayer ministry and pastoral teams. 
 
If you’re interested in getting involved, please read the job descriptions and then complete the form here

Please note that this role doesn’t have a Ministry Gift and you don’t receive meals and accommodation – applications can only be accepted from people who have already booked for Spring Harvest as a guest.

Criminal Records Bureau

Volunteers working in the children, youth, learning disabilities and Pastoral teams will be asked to obtain an Enhanced CRB Disclosure.  Other volunteers may be requested to obtain a Standard Disclosure dependent on their role.  We will be processing the Enhanced Disclosures electronically and we will contact you via email with the link to our provider's TMG-CRB secure on-line appliction service. 

If you are unable to complete an online application form please contact your Team Administrator who will be able to post a paper application to you.

Acceptance on Team

The Team Leader will read your references and application, then your team administrator will contact you - make sure you give us a daytime phone number and a current email address so we can reach you.

Teams fill up fast and your place on team is not confirmed until you have received an acceptance email from your Team Administrator.  Please do not make any travel plans until you have received an acceptance email.  If at any stage you are unsure then please contact your Team Administrator.

Pre-event information and other details 

Just before the event in March we'll contact all volunteers with information about arrival days and times and lots of other useful information.
