Lamplighter Lead and Crew Wanted! Light Up the Night!

As the sun sets, it’s our time to shine—literally! We need a team to set up rechargeable solar lanterns at dusk and collect & recharge them by day so our event stays glowing all night long.

The Job:

Place lanterns around the event as the evening magic begins
Gather and recharge them in the daylight so they’re ready to shine again
Bask in the glory of creating a beautifully lit Apogea experience and the warm glow of satisfaction of volunteering and giving back to our beautiful community.

As LNT lead your job would be to work with and manage volunteers during exodus to ensure that we leave no trace after the event. You will also keep track of theme camps and areas where moop was left. As LNT XO your job would be to assist with the execution of all of the job functions of the LNT Lead.

Volunteering with Parking is your chance to live out your golf cart dreams and wield the mighty power of the radio. You’ll keep fire lanes clear, spot stealthy handicap space invaders, and patrol like a low-key festival sheriff—with style.

Sense of humor and past Apogaea experience required. Cop uniform optional (but seriously… do we have one?).
