Learn How to Get Started
Step 1: Ensure You Meet the Requirements
Before you may apply, you must meet the following requirements:
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be a U.S. citizen or hold a current work visa, student visa, or green card.
- You must pass a background check that will be provided upon orientation.
- You must possess good communication and interpersonal skills.
- You must be willing to volunteer for at least 12 events per year; 6 events semi-annually (Jan-Jun, Jul–Dec).
- You must be willing to volunteer for one show during any extended Broadway run (Exception: New ushers will be required to volunteer for two events during the extended Broadway run in their first year).
- You must understand and meet the physical requirements of the position. These include, but are not limited to, climbing up and down stairs, assisting patrons in wheelchairs when needed, standing for extended periods, and being able to work in various positions within the theatre. The safety of our volunteers is one of our top priorities. Many aspects of the work we do will require a high level of physical activity. These requirements are in place specifically for your safety.
- You must have access to and the capability to use a computer or a smartphone. You will complete your application online and register for events through the online portal. Without regular access to a computer, you will not be able to register for events as needed.
Step 2: Submit an Application
Submit an online application by registering as a new user on our VolunteerHub page.
- Create a username and password for a Volunteer Hub account. The login that you create will be the same one you will use to register for events later.
- Complete the application online. Please answer all questions to the best of your ability, and upload a photograph of your choice when applying.
- Once you have completed the application, you will receive a message indicating that your account is under review, which means your application is being considered.
Step 3: Attend a New Volunteer Usher Orientation
- Orientations are conducted four times per year. You must attend an orientation before you may usher an event, even if you have previous experience as an usher for The Fox Theatre.
- The Guest Experience Volunteer Coordinator will send an invitation to register for an upcoming orientation. The number of slots for these orientations is limited, so we recommend registering as soon as possible. If you are unable to attend the scheduled orientation date but are still interested in ushering, please notify the Volunteer Coordinator so that you can receive information on future opportunities. Once you register, you will receive a detailed email with information on the orientation and required documents needed upon arrival.
Step 4: Register for Events
- Once you have attended orientation and passed the background check, you will be moved to active status and receive notification that you can register for upcoming events!
