Volunteers
Our volunteers play a key role in the LitFest community as they help ensure that our Festival events run smoothly and are often the first people our audiences interact with.
By becoming a LitFest volunteer, you will be helping host the biggest literary festival in the Middle East, and creating a meaningful legacy while contributing to a better tomorrow.
