Temple Square Volunteers

Individuals ages 16 and older in the year 2027 are invited to apply to serve as volunteers at Temple Square. Volunteers may welcome guests, answer questions or serve in behind-the-scenes roles that support the event.

Opportunities are available for both guest-facing and non-guest-facing assignments, including some roles that can be done remotely, all helping to create a welcoming and joyful experience for guests.

Most volunteer assignments will consist of one three- to four-hour shift per week for eight weeks, and may require extended periods of standing. If applicants are unsure of their schedule at this time or anticipate missing one or more weeks, they are invited to still apply, as schedule accommodations can be flexible.

Additional details, scheduling options and service assignments are available in the application.

Volunteer Performing Groups

Music and dance groups are invited to participate in the celebration. Vocal and instrumental ensembles, folk and cultural groups, school organizations, and other performing groups may apply.

Groups may range in size from four to 100 participants, though smaller groups are preferred. All performers must be at least 8 years old.

Selected groups will be invited to present a 30-minute performance one or more times between April and September 2027. Performances should feature uplifting, inspirational, sacred or celebratory music and dance appropriate for the temple celebration.

Volunteer Artisans, Museum Guides and Educators

Additional volunteer opportunities are available for individuals interested in sharing their talents and expertise as painters, sculptors, illustrators, glass blowers, chalk artists and other artists, as well as Church History Museum guides and educators. These roles will help enrich the guest experience throughout the celebration.

Paid Opportunities

Professional Individual Performers

Professional singers, storytellers, dancers and instrumentalists ages 18–35 are invited to audition for a paid performance troupe that will perform throughout the celebration.

Troupe members will participate in rehearsals, daily performances and guest interactions across Temple Square, helping visitors learn about Jesus Christ and the purpose of temples through music, storytelling and personal connection.

Selected performers will serve under a paid contract from February through October 2027 and should anticipate a full-time schedule during that period.
