Volunteer and Attend a Summer Concert for Free at the Idaho Center!

Published: May 23, 2023

Want to attend a summer concert at the Ford Idaho Center for free while supporting College of Western Idaho (CWI) students? We have the opportunity for you!

The Idaho Center has partnered with the College to support the CWI Food Pantry program. Food and monetary donations will be collected throughout the Idaho Center’s summer concerts, which spans from Sunday, June 4, through Tuesday, Sept. 26.

The Idaho Center has requested a minimum of two volunteers at each concert. Volunteers will work a two-hour shift to collect and assist guests with food donations onsite or monetarily through the CWI Giving website. After their shift, volunteers get to stay and enjoy the concert — free of charge!

Non-CWI friends and family are welcome to volunteer and enjoy the show, too. The maximum number of volunteers per show is four.

On the day of a volunteer shift, a representative from the Idaho Center will meet with volunteers as they arrive at the venue. More information about shifts will be sent to volunteers after they sign-up.

Sign Up to Volunteer!
