Volunteer Voices

Thousands of people volunteer each year in Black Rock City, for
days, weeks, or months. Add to that the volunteers at the many
Regional events around the world and it’s more than can be
counted on fingers and toes. 


Why do we volunteer?


Is it because we feel we received a gift and we want to pay it
back, or pay it forward?


Is it the meditation of hard work in a hard place adding a
dimension to our experience?


Is it the chance to do something different, for a pixel pusher to
build an object, an engineer to cook for artists, a project
manager to manage a different kind of project?


The answer seems to be YES.


We interviewed a few longtime citizens of Black Rock City about
why they volunteer with the Greeters, with DPW, and with the Man
Base to hear the stories of Topless Deb, Tamsin, Ruin, Terra, and
a guy named Fuckyeah.


Listen to the stories of Topless Deb, Tamsin, Ruin, Terra, and a
guy named Fuckyeah.
