The Dallas Festival of Ideas: The Equitable City

The Festival’s goal is to create a lasting, equitable impact for the city of Dallas and its citizens. This action serves as the Festival’s foundation -- and the lens through which Dallas’ citizens frame the city’s future.

Whether you want to be a behind the scenes worker, a friendly greeter, or a friendly usher, there is a space for you.  You may now review and register for volunteer opportunities online at: IDEAS Volunteer Opportunities.
