URGENT VOLUNTEER CALL! DPW (Department of Public Works) needs YOU for LATE CREW! No special skills or experience needed! 95% of what we do is pick things up/put them down, so if you're able-bodied, you're qualified! Don't wanna sacrifice burn time but still volunteer? (Firefly is ENTIRELY volunteer run!) Wanna be part of a vital volunteer core that the event can't happen without? Didn't get enough woods time & want one more day? Have a chill burn/still have energy by Exodus? Wanna be a part of the magic of the city disappearing back into mists & see the beauty of the woods restored? Wanna ride around on one of those super fun looking Polarises? Join us for DPW Late Crew/Breakdown! We have a comfy HQ w/sound, stocked kitchen full of fresh food (produce, meat, vegan, & gluten free noms!), we'll feed you & welcome you to help yourself to snacks & cold drinks! Sign up for DPW Late Crew <https://volunteer.fireflyartscollective.org/team/412> Is getting a ride back on Monday the only thing stopping you? Check out the Rideshare Board <https://www.rickyrides.com/firefly-late-crew>! DPW is responsible for all physical infrastructure put up for the event for all cores (as well as many other maintenance tasks before and during the event). Breakdown tasks include: - loading/unloading bins - collecting/loading infrastructure like plastic folding tables, chairs, tarps, & shade structures into storage - collecting trail lights - prepping/loading into our trailer and barn for storage (transported via Polaris) - taking down shade structures like ez-ups - quick inventory, and more. Again, no special skills needed...just an able body! I know us core crew leads can look a bit intimidating in the all-black workwear and are often on the quiet side/have clipped responses, but it's just that we're all usually suuuper busy working behind the scenes to make this magic happen & very tired lol (& tend to have a lot of ND introverts). Help us be less overwhelmed/tired so Firefly can keep happening! Contact DPW@fireflyartscollective.org for questions.
