APPLY TO JOIN THE (DEMENTED) FAMILY!

Volunteering is a great way to get involved in the production and build-up of our Festival. Also, a great opportunity to get a taste of working behind the scenes, finding out how the things function and revealing the real essence of Mo:Dem.

Volunteering can be challenging, but it’s always rewarding. Over the years, volunteering programs have proven to be a great way to make new friends and discover future coworkers and colleagues.

We are in search of reliable and enthusiastic people who are keen to dedicate their time and energy to help us create one of the most unique psychedelic festivals on the planet. In exchange for your work, we hope to offer a fun and rewarding experience, through gaining new skills and meeting the demented family.
