Winter 2012
The 2011 Clean Vibes season was busy and extremely successful, we are so thankful to all of our dedicated crew and volunteers! We will begin accepting applications for Paid Crew in February 2012. The applications will be available on this page at that time. We are, however, ALWAYS accepting applications for volunteers! Prospective volunteers must complete the one-time only Volunteer Application, which can be found below, and be entered into the Clean Vibes Volunteer Database in order to sign up for any and all available positions. We accept volunteer applications on a year-round basis.
Here's the scoop on volunteering with Clean Vibes this year:
Volunteer Positions
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 volunteering include:
Free admission to the event (a fully refundable deposit is usually required)
The satisfaction of helping to make a difference
Additional benefits (Depending on the event) MAY Include:
Meals while working
Free event t-shirt
Preferred camping (depending on time of arrival)
Once you are accepted as a volunteer, you will be able to see which shows and positions are available for each event and let us know what shows you would like to work.
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. Depending on the event, During Show Volunteers may spend a portion of their shift sorting recycling and/or compost and distributing bags to campers. 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. Depending on the event, Post Show Volunteers may spend a portion of their shifts sorting recycling and/or compost. You may apply for this position with a volunteer application posted below.
TRASH TALKER© - At select events we offer a position we call our "Trash Talker©". 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.
