Information about the functional areas

Support for a shared accommodation facility

In this area of work, you and your team will take responsibility for one of our shared accommodation facilities in Nuremberg schools. For several days, you will create a "temporary home" for gymnastics festival participants from all over Bavaria and ensure that everything runs smoothly on site.

Stage & show support

The volunteers ensure that the program runs smoothly and that the people involved are well supported. Organizational talent, reliability and teamwork are crucial here. The tasks include providing support for the stages, shows and receptions, coordinating the processes on site and accompanying the artists.

Gymnastics equipment teams

These special teams consist of experienced volunteers who are very familiar with gymnastics equipment and can set it up without any problems. Precision, specialist knowledge and experience with the equipment are particularly important here. Professional assembly and dismantling of gymnastics equipment, ensuring equipment safety, support in setting up the competition venues.

Info points & registration of participants

Volunteers at the information points are the first point of contact for all questions related to the Turnfest festival. Friendliness, a good sense of orientation, and strong communication skills are particularly important in this role. Responsibilities include supervision of information points throughout the city, distributing informational materials, answering questions from participants and guests, and supporting the on-site registration of participants.

long-term volunteer (preparation phase)

Long-term volunteers are already active before the start of the Turnfest festival and make an important contribution to ensuring that everything is well prepared on site. They support the preparations in advance, help with packing volunteer and school boxes, prepare materials and sort and assemble equipment for the locations. They are also actively involved in supporting application and information measures on site.

Logistics & Transportation

This area is central to ensuring that the Turnfest festival runs smoothly. We are particularly looking for drivers with a driver's license for 7.5-ton trucks, as well as helpers for loading and unloading the trucks. Physical fitness, reliability and flexibility are also an advantage. Support with material transportation, supplying competition venues and stages, accompanying shuttle services.

Marketing & Social Media

Volunteers help to make the events visible and present the Turnfest festival on social media. Creativity and media affinity are required here. Support with photography, social media reporting, information materials.

Mascot

As part of the mascot support team, you help ensure that our festival mascot is well looked after during all appearances. You may either support directly inside the costume or assist with coordinating and accompanying the mascot behind the scenes. Team spirit, reliability, and enjoyment in working with people are especially important, as the mascot is a true ambassador and crowd favorite of the Turnfest festival!

Supporting program

A lively adventure area for children, young people, and adults will be created on the Wöhrder Wiese during the Turnfest festival. In the children’s and youth area as well as in the Gymwelt and outdoor area, you will supervise a variety of hands-on activities and movement stations and actively support the organization of contests and interactive formats. Your role helps ensure that the focus remains on movement, fun, and community. It is important that you enjoy physical activity, have a confident and open manner when working with people, and possess good organizational skills. With your commitment, you help make sure that contests run fairly, smoothly, and in an engaging way — turning the Wöhrder Wiese and the supporting program into a true highlight of the gymnastics festival: active, colorful, and full of energy.

Competition Organisation & Support

Volunteers ensure that competitions run smoothly. Organizational skills, a basic understanding of sport, and teamwork are essential in this role. Knowledge of the sports within the Bavarian Gymnastics Association (BTV) can be of advantage. Support includes setting up and dismantling competition venues, assisting athletes, and coordinating schedules.
