GETTING INVOLVED

The Beneath the Baobabs team is a working family of creatives, logistical engineers and individuals inspired by a vision of an alternative future centred around our beautiful location on the coast of Kenya. Whether we are working towards one of our major festivals or preparing for a private event, we are always on the lookout for new team members.

We look for creative individuals with a passion for events and sustainability. We are looking for positive and self-driven individuals capable to oversee projects effectively and play an important role as part of an exciting team. Strong communication skills and empathy are key to working effectively with us; we welcome ideas and initiative from all participants, with the possibility of growth within the organisation for those who develop ideas with us.

As we approach an event, the team grows exponentially, allowing for people from all walks of life to rub shoulders and create cultural statements that make a difference. Each member of our team is a steward for our incredible site, offering a sense of collective pride and duty.

For current Job Applications or Opportunities to Volunteer, any active call-outs will appear here and on our social media.

Current Call Outs

Applications for Beneath the Baobabs Festival 2023/24 have not yet begun.  Sign on to the relevant email list below to be notified when applications open.

VOLUNTEERS

Beneath the Baobabs has a participatory culture, welcoming people of all backgrounds to contribute to the site and our events. Our vibe is communal, open and authentic. Volunteering is typically a lot of hours fetching, minding, painting, moving and doing the leg work, but for those who get selected, it’s a great way to experience our events on a budget and get behind the scenes access. Great for up and coming artists, creatives and those keen to learn new skills.

A volunteer at BtB can expect to join a vibrant community on site in the build up to an event, with camping and catering provided, as well as team building activities and a conscientious Human Resources department on call; we ensure that all Volunteers needs are met.

Any open calls for Volunteer Applications will be listed here on our website. However, if you want us to keep in touch and send you volunteering opportunities as they happen, then please subscribe to our list below.

If you have some unique skills that you think we could be delighted to welcome, please tell us more in the form at the bottom of this page.
