TEDxSavannah -- an independently organized, day-long celebration of ideas worth spreading based on the international TED talk phenomenon -- has issued a call for volunteers to assist with the 11th annual event, which will take place on Friday, June 24, 2022 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Yamacraw Performing Arts Center at Esther F. Garrison School of Visual and Performing Arts, located at 649 W. Jones St.

Volunteers are invited to join the team behind one of Savannah’s premier events, where they will have the opportunity to expand their network, meet interesting people, grow their portfolio and learn from local industry leaders. Volunteer opportunities are available the day before the event, during the event and immediately after the event in a multitude of service areas, ranging from customer service, food and merchandise to logistics, set up and tear down.

TEDxSavannah volunteers are required to attend one mandatory volunteer orientation session, where they will gain a deeper understanding of the 2022 TEDxSavannah - Standard Deviation event, discover the invaluable role volunteers play in this highly anticipated annual event and learn about the variety of rewarding volunteer opportunities available.

Volunteer orientation sessions will take place on Thursday, June 2 from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday, June 11 from 9-11 a.m. at the Junior Achievement Colonial Group Discovery Center on the Georgia Southern University - Armstrong Campus, located at 11935 Abercorn St. in Savannah.
