Additional risk specific to this opportunity 

Official Monterey Jazz Festival Photographers are on site and will be taking pictures of our patrons, artists, volunteers and staff. Photographers do ask if they can take a photo of volunteers.

Students may be required to work at night (after 6pm). Or, students may be supervised less than 50% of the time or the supervisor will be overseeing more than 8 people. As this is a music festival, there will be shifts that extend past 6pm, and volunteers will be working with other volunteers where the supervisor may not be in their location.
