Volunteer Opportunities
The International Jugglers’ Association’s 70-year history of spreading the enjoyment of juggling has been possible only because of the hard work and passion of countless volunteers throughout the years. The organization relies on the time and talents of volunteers to carry out all business, festival and program related functions.
Ask not what the IJA can do for you, ask what you can do for the IJA.
