Can I join brta?

Maybe!

BRTA is a pretty great camp, let’s be honest! To keep that going, we want to ensure new Agents are the right fit for BRTA. Anyone is welcome at Burning Man but becoming an Agent with BRTA involves more than just showing up. Here’s what you need to know:

Wanna-be agents

  1. Understand and fully embrace the Principles of Burning Man.

  2. Are Eager to Get Involved: You must be willing to volunteer and contribute to the communal effort.

  3. Bring No Drama: We value an easy-going atmosphere. Bring your good vibes, leave the stinky vibes in the default world.

  4. Secure a Sponsor: You must be sponsored by an existing agent and approved by BRTA leadership. If you know a BRTA Agent who is willing to vouch for you, great! If not, email us, and we’ll help connect you!

  5. Complete the 2025 Agent Signup Form: Begin your journey with BRTA!
