This group is for all Greeters, past and present, and anyone who would like to become a Greeter at AfrikaBurn. ,
Sign up for 2026 AFRIKABURN GREETERS ( https://signup.com/go/qbyifcj ) on today! The Greeter mission is to enthusiastically greet each participant (first time or experienced) home, ensure that they are educated and prepared, orientate them, answer their questions and set
the vibe for their amazing experience at AfrikaBurn. As Greeters we are the people responsible for not only welcoming participants to AfrikaBurn but we also help them with map and camp information and we try to send them off in the right direction. It's possibly one of the most enjoyable volunteer roles at the event (actually the INvent) and very often we greet our friends and family cos thats how it works! Arrival time\Preparedness
