The Woody Guthrie Coalition, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to preserving the legacy and music of  Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (1912-1967). Each year in July we produce a five-day music festival in Okemah, Oklahoma to honor their favorite native son. The Woody Guthrie Folk Festival which is now in its eleventh year and still growing, needs additional volunteers to help put on this event and keep it "admission free".

If you have the time and skills necessary to help our group of volunteers make this festival an even better event, we encourage you to apply. You can help make the 12th Annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival the best ever!

Please note: All volunteers must have an e-mail address.
