Unitopia is built by the people who show up. Here's how you can be part of the magic.
Everyone has something to offer.
Unitopia isn’t built by a few — it’s co-created by many. Whether you have an hour, a weekend, or an ongoing passion, there’s a place for you. No experience required — just a willingness to show up with an open heart.
Volunteering with Unitopia isn’t transactional. It’s relational. You’ll meet incredible people, learn new things, and help build something that matters.

Teams
Find your team.
Each team has a clear mission and a steady rhythm of work. Join the one whose work makes you say “yes.”
Camp Build
Infrastructure, transport, safety, supplies, and the thousand small things that make our events possible.
Camp Build keeps the lights on, the tents up, and the trucks moving. We tackle logistics, safety, build crews, and on-the-ground operations — especially in the months leading up to Burning Man and our larger productions.

Art & Effigies
Murals, installations, costumes, stage design, and the visual language of our gatherings.
Art & Effigies designs and fabricates the work that makes our events feel like elsewhere — from public murals to playa effigies, costuming, projection, and immersive environments. Year-round project teams welcome.

Communications
Social, writing, design, newsletters, and the way we tell the Unitopia story.
Communications shapes how the world meets Unitopia — social channels, newsletters, photo and video, marketing materials, partnerships, and storytelling. If you write, design, shoot, or post, this is your team.

Treasury & Admin
Bookkeeping, grants, vendor logistics, and the back-office work that keeps the nonprofit running.
Treasury & Admin handles the numbers, paperwork, and operational scaffolding — bookkeeping, grant writing, donor stewardship, vendor coordination, compliance, and the unglamorous work that lets every other team thrive.

Front of House
Day-of coordination, guest experience, ticketing, and the warm welcome at every gathering.
Front of House makes events feel held. We greet, orient, ticket, troubleshoot, and ensure every guest knows they belong here. If you love hosting and have a knack for keeping things calm in motion, this is home.

Music & Performance
DJs, live acts, open mics, sound design, and the heartbeat of every gathering.
Music & Performance curates and produces the audible side of our events — DJ sets, live acts, sound and stage production, open mics, and the rituals that depend on great audio. Performers and behind-the-scenes folks both welcome.

Ceremony & Ritual
Opening ceremonies, gratitude circles, sunrise gatherings, and meaningful moments.
Ceremony & Ritual designs and holds space for the soulful core of our events — opening ceremonies, gratitude circles, sunrise practices, seasonal observances, and rites of passage. We work in close partnership with every other team.

Education & Mentoring
Workshops, skill-shares, mentorship, and youth programming.
Education & Mentoring lowers the barrier to learning and creating. We run workshops, skill-shares, youth mentoring, and intentional teaching circles — and we make sure everyone can teach as well as learn.

Community Care
Welcome teams, hospitality, kitchen, well-being, and the culture of belonging.
Community Care holds the relational fabric — welcome teams, hospitality, kitchen and meal prep, peer support, and consent and well-being practices. We make Unitopia feel safe, seen, and warmly human.
