Volunteering at Ratha Yatra? Your Safety Induction Closes at the End of January

Are you attending Ratha Yatra (The Festival of the Chariots) on Sunday February the 14th?

Do you intend to assist with services there?

Have you registered to help with Chariot Security, Face Painting, Prasadam Distribution or anything else at the Festival?

WONDERFUL!

Then you need to complete the St. Kilda Festival Safety Induction

This is a minimum requirement for all our volunteers. Online Safety Induction information takes only a short time to read. The test itself is just 10 multiple choice questions. All inductions must be completed no later than January the 31st.

Please print out your Induction Card and carry it with you at all times.  You must produce this receipt if requested while working onsite.

If you are unable to complete your induction online, you can go to the St Kilda Festival Office.

Hare Krishna, all glories to Lord Jagannatha!

See you at Ratha Yatra!
