The TJFA would not be possible without the help and energy of a big group of 50 volunteers. We are so happy that many of our volunteers are coming back every edition. We really appreciate their energy and honour them for it. Every year many people want to apply for a volunteer spot. 

Would it be suitable for you?

We advise people who are going through a rough time in their lives not to apply. For them it is better to enjoy the festival as a participant with enough time to regulate.

What do we offer/ask you?

It can be a great opportunity to meet people and feel part of the festival from the beginning. Together you share much more as part of the volunteer team than as a regular participant. All volunteers sleep in the volunteer field, which makes the connection even easier. You can choose to come with your own tent or camper or rent a spot in a shared 4p glamping tent with a bed. (Early Bird Volunteer Tickets before March 1st!)

We ask you to be available from Monday 14th 12.00 hrs. until Monday 21nd 13:00 hrs. to build and unbuild the festival. For a reduced rate and energy investment of average 4 hours daily, you can dive deeper in the festival experience and enjoy being part of the crew.

This edition we decided that every volunteer can choose to have kitchen or sanitary tasks. You will get a schedule a couple of weeks before the festival begins. Then you have a week to swap. Reasons for swapping can be that you wish to do a task more or less or that you want to follow a certain workshop.

How does the festival week look like for a volunteer?

Monday 14th: We begin building the festival after potluck lunch. In the evening, we have team activities.

Tuesday 15th: We continue building up the festival and in the evening from 19:00 Early Festival Arrivals and some facilitators (around 30 people) join for the party eve.

Chopping veggies, cleaning toilets and showers, selling coffee & tea and snacks at the cafe or taking care of the Hot tubs and Sauna's. The first shifts begin at 7:00 and the last ones can end at 22.00.

Sunday 20st after the Closing Ceremony and lunch we ask the public to assist us to wind down most of Festival props and items. Around 17:00 we stop and hang out for a while. We have dinner and a campfire sauna eve with the crew.

Monday 21nd in the morning items are picked up and put in storage containers. Most of the volunteers are leaving around lunchtime.
