We are looking for volunteers who want to be part of creating a generous, well-run, and welcoming space for Black and African literary culture in New York. Volunteers will help shape the experience of the festival from the moment guests and audiences arrive: supporting artists, welcoming attendees, assisting with programs, helping with documentation, coordinating spaces, and carrying the spirit of the festival into the room.

​

This is an opportunity to work closely with a growing cultural platform, meet writers, artists, publishers, organizers, and readers from across Africa and the diaspora, and contribute meaningfully to a festival rooted in literature, community, and exchange.

​

We welcome people with experience in events, media, production, hospitality, arts administration, community organizing, or communications, as well as anyone simply willing to show up with care, attention, and enthusiasm.
