Werkhaüs | Lead

PURPOSE/SUMMARY

First to come! Last to pull out! Werkhaüs is home for those who create the Nowhere we love and adore – the volunteers. During the event these are paying campers, who enjoy delicious food from La Cantina (the volunteer kitchen) and drinks from the bar while relaxing under our giant shade structure in between shifts.
Everyone at Werkhaüs volunteers for a variety of roles and shifts during the event. We work hard & play harder.

The Werkhaüs lead is responsible for ensuring Werkhaüs is the best possible home for our precious volunteers. They have overall responsibility for coordinating the layout of Werkhaüs, ensuring all facilities are provided (shade, bar, DJ, fluffer station, showers, water, camping etc). The Werkhaüs Lead sets the budget for the volunteers who pay to stay at Werkhaüs and works with the R&R Metalead, Cantina Lead, Bar Lord, Build Lead and Fluff Lead to set the overall budget required for volunteer services for the entire event. The Werkhaüs Lead works with the geeks to collect registration information and barrio fees.

The Werkhaüs Lead is responsible to ensure all volunteer shifts relating to Werkhaus are filled in advance of the event.
