San Francisco Green Festival (Event Over)

Did you know the Green Festival, the LARGEST sustainability event in the country, is returning to San Francisco on November 13-15, 2009?  We are thrilled to celebrate the Green Festival in its eighth year in San Francisco.

 The Green Festival a non-profit organization and a three day event committed to the movement towards a just and sustainable society.  Over the course of the next few months I will be recruiting over 1,200 volunteers for the San Francisco Green Festival!  We will be looking for volunteers 16 or older, groups of volunteers, and individuals to support our massive volunteer program at the Green Festival.  

Green Festival volunteers are asked to volunteer for at least one 4.5-5 hour shift, and in exchange receive free admission to the festival all weekend, an organic cotton staff t-shirt, free memberships to Global Exchange and Green America, and discounts at the festival.

For three days, Green Festival attendees will explore the latest in clean technology, green building, socially responsible investing, eco-fashion, renewable energy, green careers/green collar jobs, natural foods, groundbreaking films, eco-tourism and the perfect place to pick up economical, meaningful holiday gifts. In addition to the wide array of lively presentations and discussion topics, the crowd pleasing favorites are joined this year by prominent advocates of change. For the first time at the Green Festival, Dr. Cornel West, best-selling author of Race Matters and Democracy Matters, will mark the launch of his latest book, Hope on a Tightrope, with an exciting talk and book signing. Bay Area green-economy expert and advocate Van Jones will speak in his hometown about how “Green Collar Jobs” can save the polar bears while solving the United States financial crisis. Realizing the potential of the next generation of influencers and activists, Green Festival will offer a new Green Teen Pavilion, an exclusive area for teens to immerse themselves in interactive events such as solar car racing and personalized cosmetic creation.
