Like any Burning Man event, it is most rewarding when experienced as a participant rather than a spectator – so get involved! Bring the project you brought to Burn in the Forest or Black Rock City, or another left half-finished on your couch, or have been dreaming of for months.
Help us build, decorate, ranger, greet or break down.
Volunteer!
Dustcovery is 100% volunteer run and everyone, even our organisers, buys a ticket. Come embrace burner principles by GIFTING your time, PARTICIPATING in Dustcovery in a meaningful way, and displaying COMMUNAL EFFORT to help bring this thing to life!
Opportunities are available with door, activities, acculturation and volunteer teams during the event; or if you prefer to have Dustcovery night completely free, you can volunteer before or after with set-up, transport, tear-down and volunteer teams.
Your contribution is so appreciated by your volunteer team, and all the Dustcovery attendees! 
We truly couldn’t do it without you!
Please email dustcovery-volunteers@gvias.org if you have any questions or issues.
Much love and gratitude from Danielle & Lauren
Dustcovery Volunteer Coordinator Co-Leads

Silent Rave Callout for Djs

To showcase the incredible diversity within our community, taking open applications for DJs. We also welcome collaborations with live instruments—one of the DJs will be performing with an electric guitar, and we believe that blending DJ sets with live elements will create an unforgettable experience.

- 2 for DJs (playing simultaneously on the stage)
- 1 for chill, relaxing sounds
