Join us as a volunteer for Philly Maker Faire 2026! This incredible event celebrates invention, creativity, and resourcefulness — an exciting opportunity to spotlight and support home-grown innovation in the Philadelphia region. Your help is essential in making this event a truly inspiring and unforgettable experience.

 

We’re looking to add members to our organizing committee who will oversee 

  • food
  • ticketing
  • operations
  • much more! 

and supporting volunteers for outreach and sponsorships.  The organizing committee meets monthly in the fall and then two – four times a month as we move closer to the event.  Please contact hello@phillymakerfaire.com if interested in this kind of role.

Day-before/day-of volunteers work a few hours and have free time during the event to roam and explore.  If you’re interested in joining our day-before/day-of event volunteer team, complete the sign-up form or email valeriechikwendu@gmail.com.

We can’t wait to have you on board!
