Volunteer NOW!

Why Should I Volunteer?

Everyone who participates at Recycled Rainbow is a volunteer. The organizers are volunteers. All team leads are volunteers. All musicians and artists are volunteers. We don’t want anyone to feel left out, so we want you to volunteer too. If you aren’t already committed to one of our illustrious teams, think about it. JOIN THE FUN OF HELPING TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN THIS INCREDIBLE TEMPORARY COMMUNITY. IT WILL BE AN EXPERIENCE YOU WON’T FORGET! Below is a list of the various departments needing help. I am Javamama, your volunteer coordinator. You can get more information from me at volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org

Public Relations:

PR people. Promoters- people to get the word out. The two most important parts in paying for the land and insurance are gatekeepers (who collect the money/tickets) and PR (who get the people to the gate). Contact volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org

Gate Keepers/Greeters:

The Gate is one of the most visible departments for the event. As the first person they see upon arriving and before entering the gate, your smiling face and the information you give will welcome each participant whether it’s their first time or family returning “home”. The Gate is intended as a well-run, easy to do, fun job! Contact greeters(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org if you want to join the fun!

Earth Guardians:

LNT – Leave NO Trace!!! These amazing people love to get all trashy!!! Organic, inorganic, orgasmic, or not that much fun at all, JUST DON’T LEAVE IT!!! It takes a lot of people hours – before, throughout,and after the event to make sure that nothing gets left behind. Leading this year’s LNT effort is Sir William! Please contact us at volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org

Rangers:

handle conflict resolution and work in cooperation with the  Emegency Service Department. Rangers are not security. They handle conflict by attempting to communicate and reach compromises so police don’t have to be called. The Team Lead communicates with other teams to ensure proper and fast response in the event of emergencies. Ranger Team Lead is Larry (Camp Daddy). Please contact us at volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org

Emergency Services Department:

ESD’s are responsible for handling all on site medical and fire emergencies. They are currently looking for CPR certified, EMS, Paramedics, First Responders, or anyone working in the medical field. This years ESD Leader is Kristal Light and she has some big needs!!! We can offer comp tickets to anyone who volunteers for ESD, so if you can please let us know! Contact us at volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org

DBS:

The DBS is in charge of building the event. All public labor is run through DBS. DBS works with all teams, theme camps, art installations, requiring advice or assistance with building projects on site. DBS – The event’s Hot Ass Construction Crew!!! (Catcall Y’all!!!) DBS Team Lead is Chnick . Please contact us at volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org

Theme Camp Coordination:

This community is built on a little more than Rock N’ Roll. TCC deals with all things theme camp related. Placement, emergency plans, fire, LNT, etc. TCC will communicate with other teams to ensure all theme camp needs are met. TCC deals with registered and unregistered theme camps. Team Lead for TCC is Dirtgoddess. Please contact us at volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org

Restroom Ambiance:

This most avant-garde idea in volunteerism was born in 2005 at Burning Man by Recycled Rainbow Camp. The hallmark of every great civilization is the manner in which they handle their biological waste! In an attempt to provide a respectful, pleasant and enjoyable experience in our temporary community, we are seeking one or two people to provide atmosphere and services for the restrooms. Restroom attendants are given the opportunity to create a theme camp in the restrooms themselves, providing lighting, music, incense and whatever else you would like to provide to promote a pleasant environment demanding respect for the facilities. Providing reminders that “if it didn’t come out of your body, don’t put it in the potty” and “no moop in the poop” are some examples, but it can go much further! Please contact us at volunteers(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org
