Volunteering at IFP MSP 

Last year's operation was made possible by over 5,000 hours of volunteer time. Volunteers are important. Their assistance in the equipment room and darkroom are invaluable to IFP's regular staff. Volunteers are rewarded by accumulating hours which translate into equipment and facility discounts:

  • 20-50 hours = 30% discount
  • 51-100 hours = 40% discount
  • 100+ hours = 50% discount
Volunteer discounts go into effect after your first 20 hours. In order to remain active in the program you must maintain a minimum of 20 hours every three months. All volunteers must commit to a three month minimum tenure.

Volunteers also receive a 40% tuition discount on classes and workshops!

Volunteeering at IFP MSP also enables the beginning media artist to establish networking connections and is a great way for media pros to share their experience.
