\"Burning
\nBurning Life is built from nothing in a barren desert<\/div>\n

Just like Nevada<\/a>‘s famous Burning Man<\/a> festival, Second Life<\/a>‘s Burning Life<\/a> festival is a completely non-commercial, non-paid endeavor, an organized magical city springing to life from a barren desert and then a week later vanishing without a trace.<\/p>\n

One of the ways you can become involved in Burning Life 2009 is by taking a volunteer job there. Volunteering, both in the real world and in Second Life, can be enormously satisfying and is a great way to meet people. There’s a wide range of volunteer positions available, either preparing for the event, working during it (October 17-25, 2009), or in a year round position for this annual festival. You don’t have to make a major commitment. You can commit to working only as many hours as is convenient As of today, there are 25 jobs that require less than ten hours a week, 20 jobs that require a 10-30 hour commitment per week, and three jobs requiring a 30-50 hour commentment.<\/p>\n

The jobs in this temporary city in a virtual desert fall into the categories of Administration, Art Department, Burning Man Regional, Communications\/Publicity, Community Services, Department of Mutant Vehicles, Department of Public Works, Performance, and Rangers. The jobs available include Volunteer Coordinator, Porta Potty Artists, Linguists, Tour Guides, Costumers, Builders, Pyro Specialist, Lamplighter\/Drummer, and Ranger. These are only a few of the jobs available.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in volunteering, be sure to first read the Burning Life Volunteer Rights & Responsibilities page<\/a>. Additional training will be required for ranger positions. You can find the list of available volunteer jobs at the Burning Life 2009 Jobs Page<\/a> and you can apply for a job here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll be writing more about Burning Life 2009 in coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n
