Signage | Build Co-Lead(s)

PURPOSE/SUMMARY

City Planning needs your help!! Our Signage lead, Kelly, has other responsibilities on the Playa this year and we are looking for someone who can take over the day-to-day tasks for signage such as coordinating volunteers, painting and planting signs before the event, and collecting and inventorying them after. The job is pretty simple, straightforward, and so much fun!! You’ll be part of an awesome crew of volunteers and you’ll get the awesome experience of being a crucial part of the event.

During Build, the Signage team makes and places all the signs that are needed for Nowhere. Post-event, the signs need to be collected, inventoried, and stored. No work is needed during the event. The Signage Co-Lead works alongside the Signage Lead and a few other volunteers to do this. Ideally, you would be available to be on-site from the 24th of June to the 10th of July.
