Leadership Opportunities
SELF is built by layered teams of volunteers who work together throughout the year and during the event. Representation of all people in leadership is a focus at SELF.
Current Opportunities
Volunteer Assistant Position Open
Volunteer Assistants are vital to the event running smoothly. They work with the Volunteer Coordinator to ensure volunteers are trained, signed in and out, and are where they should be doing the intended job. They assist with crowd control and coordination in the event of an emergency. Prior to the event, a Volunteer Assistant must be available for planning meetings and to help prepare event materials. Meetings are held once every four weeks throughout the year and every two weeks in the three months immediately preceding the event. They also assist with volunteer training during the two weeks before SELF. During the event weekend, Thursday through Sunday, Volunteer Assistants work approximately 20 hours: roughly five hours per day Thursday through Saturday and four hours on Sunday. There is also a follow-up meeting one week after the event. This position requires substantial computer work in Microsoft Excel and Word, so proficiency in both is required. Clear, efficient communication with volunteers is essential to keeping the event moving, productive, and fun.
Supply Assistant Starting July 2026
The Supply Assistant is a year-round volunteer position suited to someone based in Atlanta or the surrounding area. The role requires strong organizational skills, proficiency in Microsoft Excel with access to the software, and the ability to maintain and digitally manage a detailed inventory system and related subsystems. The ability to take and manage photos is also required. This position compiles and organizes supply data—often received in parts—into clear, usable lists. Responsibilities include checking incoming packages, placing them into the appropriate storage tubs in Atlanta three to five times per year, and keeping the inventory current. In April, the Supply Assistant provides finalized inventory lists to the on-site Supply Manager to support efficient supply delivery during the event weekend. Strong attention to detail, the ability to follow established systems, and a collaborative team spirit are essential. Annual system turnover is required each July. Most of the work takes place before the event.
