VOLUNTEERS

It takes a village to build a festival,
powered by its volunteers.

Love of great music and art, and passion for service bring together a community of volunteers dedicated to planning, building and carrying out the Shambhala Festival. 

There are two types of volunteers: full-time staff and part-time staff. 

Application for Full-time Staff has been closed. 

Full-time staff work together to co-create the festival, starting from setting up and concluding with dismantling and packing up, from January 31st to February 19th daily, except on February 12th. 

Various teams and departments are involved, with volunteers coming from diverse locations around the globe. We not only work together but also share meals. Please let us know when you apply if you prefer a type of work or want to work in a specific team, although we may not be able to accommodate everyone's preference.  

Part-time staff work during the festival period between February 7th and 16th as few or as many days as they are available based on our needs. Part-time staff must buy their festival entry tickets, but we will give you food on the day(s) you work. Part-time staff are accepted on a first come first serve basis at the INFORMATION DESK during the festival period. You don't need to make an application. Please do not email us.
