Volunteer Positions 2010
Join Clean Vibes as a Volunteer and help spread the clean vibe at your favorite festival. Clean Vibes is dedicated to educating fans about recycling and the importance of environmental stewardship. We believe that every person can make a difference and we rely on dedicated volunteers who are interested in inspiring others. To be a volunteer you must work a set amount of hours: usually a total of 8 to 20 hours within specific shift times is required. Volunteer shifts are usually during and/or after the show. Please refer to the descriptions below to learn about the types of volunteer opportunities we offer.
If you have volunteered with Clean Vibes in the past and you are already a member of the Clean Vibes Database then you do not need to re-apply.
Benefits of a volunteer include:
- Admission to the event (a non-refundable administrative fee and refundable deposit is normally required)
- The satisfaction of helping to make a difference
Additional benefits (Depending on the event) MAY Include:
- Preferred camping (depending on time of arrival)
Once you are accepted as a volunteer, you will gain access to our volunteer database where you will be able to see which shows and positions are available for each event and sign up for events where you would like to volunteer. Volunteers must sign up for events in the database, merely filling out the application does not sign you up for an event.
These are the types of volunteer opportunities we offer:
DURING SHOW CLEAN-UP - While the exact times and number of hours will vary by event, during show volunteers are normally required to work one 5 to 7 hour shift on each day of the festival. They will spend their shift assisting the Clean Vibes crew in picking up loose litter on the ground and cleaning the concert area in preparation for continued entertainment. This position requires bending and stooping as well as lifting bags of refuse and recycling. You may apply for this position with a volunteer application posted below.
POST EVENT CLEAN-UP - Looking for an opportunity to volunteer but still be able to enjoy ALL of the event? Post event clean-up could be your key! Post event volunteers are normally required to work two 8 to 10 hour shifts after the conclusion of the entire event. These volunteers will assist the Clean Vibes crew in picking up loose litter on the ground and consolidating piles. This position requires bending and stooping as well as lifting bags of refuse and recycling. You may apply for this position with a volunteer application posted below.
TRASH TALKER - At select events we offer positions for what we like to call "Trash Talkers". The Clean Vibes "Trash Talker" volunteers are asked to work a daily shift during the festival that is normally 5 to 6 hours. Volunteers will staff waste reclamation centers located throughout the festival grounds and encourage festival attendees to dispose of their waste in the appropriate receptacles - recycling, compost, or landfill. These volunteers will have the opportunity to interact directly with the festival attendees to promote environmental responsibility.
Be sure to read the explanation of the process of acceptance of volunteer applications and how to go about signing up for specific shows once your application has been accepted. This explanation can be found on the volunteer application. Details regarding the expectations of volunteers and deposit information for each event will be specified upon acceptance of volunteer application.
Please note that you do not need to purchase a ticket to any event for which you are accepted as a Clean Vibes volunteer. We will provide you with a ticket for admission upon receipt of your deposit and will not be able to refund any ticket that has been previously purchased.
