A small non-profit, we rely on volunteers to help our events run smoothly. At the Wine Festival, volunteers: serve food, pour wine, direct guests, and help with the auction and other event activities.
Volunteers get the opportunity to: network with the French-American community; practice speaking French; enjoy an iconic Seattle venue; and gain valuable, behind-the-scenes event experience.
Join in this time-honored tradition and have fun for a good cause!
All funds raised directly benefit the Chamber’s mission as a small non-profit by supporting our staff, our J-1 interns, and our community engagement.
