We offer compassionate care providing harm reduction and festival first aid, while working inclusively with medical First Aid and Security teams to co-create a safe environment. • Volunteers are required to give 9 hours of their time in exchange for a festival wristband and red lot parking pass. More perks may be available if able to commit to more hours. ** Please note that submitting this form does not guarantee you will be scheduled to volunteer with us.
