Is there a discounted ticket for Volunteers?

Yes - a Non-Refundable $100 Facilities Ticket. This facilities ticket allows Breathe to remain financially solvent while rewarding volunteers for their hard work and contribution to the Breathe community.  Proceeds from the facilities ticket go towards covering Breathe's fixed costs such as; venue rental, tent rentals, bathroom rentals, insurance etc... A portion of the proceeds also goes toward purchasing the included Breathe tee for each volunteer. Upon acceptance, Volunteers will receive a link to purchase a Facilities Ticket. This is a Full Event Pass. If purchasing a $100 Facilities Ticket doesn’t align with your current financial situation, please see our Flow it Forward initiative for assistance.

What are the shifts like? Do I need any prior experience?

​

There is no experience required to volunteer in most areas, in fact we urge all first time BREATHERS to volunteer. We have heard so many stories where people found the most connection with new people through their volunteer time. 

 

Each volunteer will be scheduled to one area. Depending on the area, each shift will look a little different. You can expect to help out with general tasks like activity setup, orienting guests at the front gate, keeping the community kitchen clean and tidy, waste/compost maintenance etc. 

 

If you have any experience in the areas you are passionate about, elaborate as much as possible in the application, especially if you are applying to volunteer in the Medical and Lifeguard or Fire and Flow Supervisors.Only volunteers with prior experience will be accepted for those areas.

​

​

When is the deadline for applying and purchasing the $100 Facilities Ticket?

 

The deadline for new Volunteer Applications is June 30th, 2025.  

 

All volunteers are expected to pay their $100 Facilities Ticket within 2 weeks of being approved to be a volunteer. We will not hold spots for anyone that has not paid or worked out an agreement with the Volunteer Coordinator.
