Important note: These job descriptions probably sound a bit corporate, but once you apply you will get to speak to a real human™ who will help you figure out if the role you’re applying for is suitable and sustainable for you. The job descriptions might also contain traces of jargon, but we are happy to translate. Please remember volunteering is supposed to be fun! This is all a giant game and if you got this far we can probably play together.
Volunteer at the Event
Want to be part of an onsite team? Can you picture yourself checking tickets at the Gate with a big welcoming smile, or greeting your fellow Burners as they arrive, or roaming around the Paddock as a Black Sheep Ranger?
Kiwiburn needs approximately 700 on-site volunteers to run, so what are you waiting for?? Sign up and experience the joy of helping others and bringing the Paddock to life.
Learn more about the different roles on the Volunteering Information page.
