Are you looking for leadership experience? Do you have ideas for ways an area within the Irish Fair could be more engaging or efficient? Consider joining us as an Area Manager!
Area Managers are volunteers of the Irish Fair of MN with an elevated role. In general, they participate in strategic oversight, planning, and have direct responsibility for onsite operation and tactical support throughout the entirety of the Irish Fair for their area. Specific responsibilities may include:
- providing input on the layout of their area and supplies needed to make their area operate effectively and efficiently for volunteers and for guests
- managing volunteers: ensuring volunteers have an excellent experience and give our guests an excellent experience
- assigning volunteers to area-specific tasks/duties, training them on those tasks/duties, and managing breaks
- handling guest concerns/complaints and escalating to Board Members or Security, as necessary
Even if you don't want to join the Board of Directors, this is an opportunity to see behind the scenes of a cultural festival and hone your leadership skills. This type of experience looks great on a résumé!

Description
The Irish Fair of Minnesota is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and celebrating Irish culture and our community. Each year we host an Irish Arts Week with a variety of lectures, classes, readings, historical tours and more. In the second week-end of August, we hold a major festival where we invite you to join us for a celebration of all things Irish with music, dance, family activities and good craic! Throughout the year, follow us on social media to learn about other events and opportunities to get your Irish on! Our annual festival is recognized as one of the most family-friendly events in the Twin Cities, one of the largest and most authentic Irish festivals nationwide and an amazingly great time. Come by, listen to the music, watch the dancers, and even enjoy a pint or two! All proceeds from our events and other donations are invested in supporting the Irish Fair's mission or in supporting our Irish & Celtic cultural community. Our organization has an executive director, a volunteer board of directors and is primarily volunteer driven and supported by people throughout the state.
