Learn More About Volunteer Roles

While being a Sitter is what many people think of when they think of Zendo Project, we rely on a large team of volunteers with diverse roles to operate and provide psychedelic peer support:

Greeters welcome guests into the space and engage in conversation with people who are interested in Zendo Project.

Sitters hold space for guests who are seeking support.

Logkeepers keep track of lots of moving people and parts, using an iPad to update data.

Logistics assists with key operations to help the space run smoothly, including infrastructure, refilling supplies, fueling our vehicles and hearts, caring for the space, and communicating with other event departments.

Medical Triage assesses Zendo guests to make sure they are medically safe to be in the space. Medical certification required (EMT or higher).

PULSE supports the well-being of Zendo Project volunteers throughout the event by offering peer support and resources for volunteers.
