WELCOME DPW & DPW CURIOUS!
READ ON TO LEARN HOW YOU
GET RECRUITED TO DPW 2025!

This can happen in the following ways!

1. You either fill out the DPW Application if you're new or the DPW Round Up if you've been DPW/NVO before (Check your Work-List email or with your manager for the RoundUp link). If you're new or don't have a crew yet, your name goes on a list of recruitable folk, our crew managers read applications and reach out to the folks they think could be a good fit. They'll likely be reaching out via email, so keep an eye on your inbox!

2. GET RECRUITED! : DPW CREWS Reach out to crew managers through the emails listed at this link and let them know you're interested, what skills you might have you think would be valuable to their operations, and why you want to work with them. The crew titles with this asterisk * signify only that those crews often have open roles but does not guarantee they will have a spot available. Some crews have very specific skill needs, even in a volunteer, and may not have a lot of time to train folks that come and go so please be mindful when making commitments.

In fact, please be patient and mindful of everyone's time you interact with- all of these Managers have lives and jobs elsewhere that they're tending to at the same time as trying to get their team situated for the upcoming season.

In that light, we request you only reach out to a small few at a time- no bulk-emailing all the managers at once and please let everyone involved know when you have found a spot for the season.

3. DPW Personnel recruits you to the DPW Roustabouts and you have a grand time exploring different crews, roles, and putting your energy into supporting the gaps where it's needed most! DPW would be hard-pressed to thrive without the effort of this energetic and stalwart crew and we are grateful to have you. Reach out to dpwrecruiting@burningman.org with the subject "Roustabout Recruit - <yourname> " to talk about joining this year!

4. APPLY TO PAID ROLES DIRECTLY THROUGH OUR Burning Man Job Board.
