Welcome
EMF is an entirely volunteer run event, and without people like you giving their time we wouldn’t be able to make it happen. The people who greeted you at the gate, the staff behind the bar, the person operating a camera, and the crew in the volunteer kitchen are all volunteers who've signed up to help.
During the event we have a wide variety of volunteer roles which you can sign up to do via this website. Each role has shifts throughout the weekend, typically they're about two hours long, and you can choose which shifts you'd like to sign up for to fit in around the other things you want to do. For some roles you might need to attend a short training session, or complete some basic online training.
You'll never be made to do something you're not comfortable with, so don't worry if you're don't want to get up on a stage, or are unsure about operating a sound desk.
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to get to know new people, learn a new skill, and make EMF the best event possible. If that's not enough, for every volunteer shift you do you'll get a token for a free meal from the volunteer kitchen, which serves three freshly cooked hot meals a day, and provides snacks and drinks between meals.
Finally, anyone who does at least two volunteer shifts will receive a voucher to purchase a guaranteed ticket for the next EMF.
How to Volunteer
Click the button below to register as a volunteer, which will allow you to choose which roles you're interested in, and then select shifts at a convenient time for you. You can also opt in to receiving a notification if we're having difficulty filling shifts for those roles, which would be greatly appreciated. There's no obligation to take those shifts.
Queries
If you have any queries about volunteering (or issues during a shift) you can get in touch with the volunteer desk by emailing volunteer@emfcamp.org, calling 1009 on the internal EMF phone system, or stopping by the desk in the Info tent.
