Volunteering Opportunities

Confused? Lost? Don't know exactly what these freaks are up to? VOLUNTEER! It's the easiest way to get involved with things and meet people. And it's a ton of fun! Our event is a place where work and play are kinda the same thing, so jump in with both feet and have a blast! Below are some areas where you can help out. Also contact our volunteer coordinator, Cedar, at volunteers@floridaafterburn.com for other opportunities.

Gate Greeters – Volunteer greeters welcome other participants to AfterBurn and make sure they are prepared for the event. It's usually a big party at the greeter station. Read the Greeter Training Guide and Greeter Cheat Sheet to get an idea of what is involved. Shifts are 3 hours and a volunteer schedule is available in the database section of the AfterBurn Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FloridaAfterBurn

AfterBurn Safety Squadron (ASS) Team – Have you kissed an ASS today? Our ASS team is dedicated to the overall safety of the land and participants. Basically the ASS Team will  

  • Make sure Maddox Ranch is maintained in its pristine condition during AfterBurn. Want to help AfterBurn be a sustainable event? Be an ASS Team member and help spread the word about Leave No Trace (LNT) practices to all the lovely participants at AfterBurn.  This is an easy task. All you need to do is take a garbage bag and walk the event site, picking up Matter Out Of Place (MOOP) as you see it and remind participants to do the same! You also get to meet fabulous people and look at all the great stuff out there! For extra fun, get a friend to be an ASS Team member with you! 
  • Be responsible for being first responders to any conflicts or emergencies. So, if you've attended an event like ours before, or are familiar with what BRC Rangers do, jump onboard our ASS Team.

The ASS Team is one of the most important aspects of the event, and offer a great sense of reward for your time. If you have questions about the ASS Team, what they do, or want to volunteer to be an ASS Team member, contact Mayhem & Sassy: tampamayhem@yahoo.com.

An ASS Team volunteer schedule is available in the Database section of the AfterBurn Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FloridaAfterBurn

AfterBurn Medical Posse (AMP) – We are looking for EMTs, nurses, or First Aid certified individuals to volunteer as an AMP. As first responders at our event you will treat minor injuries and, if necessary, work with our ASS Team to utilize the 911 system to evacuate a participant with a potentially life-threatening injury. Contact: Cedar at volunteers@floridaafterburn.com

Parking Guides – Our illustrious Parking Guides are integral to the community planning of AfterBurn. They will liaison with Greeters to direct our AfterBurner participants to their camping spot or theme camp, and show them where to park their cars for the duration of the event.
