Volunteering at Lantern Burn 在燃燈焱的義工服務
Your help is needed to make Lantern Burn run smoothly. Lantern Burn is a non-profit, volunteer run effort. It takes a lot of work from a lot of amazing people to make this event work and we always appreciate any help we can get. If you’re not sure what you can do but would like to help, consider giving some of your time and talent by signing up for one or more of the following volunteer jobs below. You can apply to volunteer HERE!
為了讓年的燃燈焱能順利進行，衷心期盼你的幫忙。燃燈焱是一個非營利的自願性活動，所以我們非常期朌並感謝你熱心參與。如果你想幫忙但不確定能做什麼，你可以考慮花一點時間及利用你的才藝，來做以下幾項義工的服務工作。你可以在這裡申請!
- Gate Keepers 守衛者 – Gatekeepers are the front door and face of Lantern Burn. You will be in charge of stopping vehicles as they arrive for a quick welcome, checking everyone’s tickets and pointing participants in the right direction for parking and/or shuttle drop off. Gatekeepers must be firm but polite in case of any non-ticket holders or potential sneak-ins and turn away anyone who doesn’t have a ticket back down the mountain. Two or more people will work together for 4-hour shifts.
大門守衛是燃燈焱的門面，主要工作是在車輛抵達時確認大家都持有活動票券、隨後指引停放車輛與卸貨的位置。若有人沒有票券卻想要入場、或者混入人群的話，守衛需要堅定有禮地勸退對方。至少兩人同時值班，每4小時輪班。 - Rangers 巡邏員 – The role of a ranger is a vital one. They spring from the ground when they’re needed and then quietly wisp away when they’re done. Rangers act as information providers, safety facilitators and occasionally non-confrontational community mediators. You will float among the burn ready to offer advice or help whenever it’s needed. In case of any emergencies, rangers will act as primary responders and cooperate with the medical squad. In case of any unfortunate conflicts between burners, rangers will pull up as peaceful mediators offering ideas of compromise and helping ease tensions. Rangers will walk in pairs throughout the camp in 4-hour shifts.
巡邏員的工作非常重要：巡邏員的責任包含提供資訊、維護安全、協調爭端。巡邏員將穿梭在活動中，隨時提供建議或協助。如果發生任何緊急情況，巡邏員將作為主要接應者並與醫護組合作；若現場不幸發生衝突，巡邏員將出面協調，提供折衷的想法並幫助緩解緊張的局面；事情解決後即低調隱身。巡邏員以兩人為一組，每 4 小時輪班一次巡守活動營地。 - Medical Squad 醫護隊 – The medical squad is readily available to take care of any minor wounds or injuries while also keeping track of our medical kit. In case of a real emergency, you may need to accompany the injured person to the hospital. People holding a valid Taiwan driver’s license are encouraged. You will be on-call for 8-hour shifts.
醫護隊的任務是迅速處理小傷口或輕微受傷，並隨身攜帶醫護箱；若遇到緊急狀況，有可能會需要陪同傷病者下山就醫。每8小時輪值一班，誠徵持有台灣駕照的志工。 - Leave No Trace 不留痕跡 – Also known as just LNT, Leave No Trace means exactly what it sounds like. However, while everyone is trying their best to abide by Leave No Trace, sometimes bits and pieces of trash can be forgotten or overlooked. LNT volunteers will be in charge of walking the campsite and giving friendly reminders to burners to clean up after themselves. You will also pick up any MOOP (Matter Out Of Place) you see yourself such as cigarette butts or food scraps and occasionally change out trash bags when cans become full. You will also be in charge of turning on/off camp lights and checking that our bathrooms are stocked with bum wipe. You will work in pairs for 4-hour shifts.
簡稱LNT。雖然所有人都盡可能落實垃圾不落地，但難免有一些小垃圾會被遺落或忽視。環境維護組會在營區裡面走動，並善意提醒大家在活動後要把環境收拾整潔（包含所有非原地的物品、菸屁股、食物殘渣等）；垃圾桶滿了要請你協助打包、套上新的垃圾袋；負責開關營區用燈及確認浴廁的衛生紙是否足夠。每兩人為一組、每4小時輪班一次。 - Khaki – Khaki is triage and dispatch. We are the information keepers/general help desk for volunteers. On the radios, not every situation is a Rangers situation. Call on Khaki to triage who to call on. It might be a medical/rangers/green dot (sober sitting/psychological/etc.) situation or a combination of multiple groups. Khaki also logs all situations, partly as cover for our asses , but also as a ‘how can we do this better next time’? Lastly, we help others know when they are on shift, if there’s an open shift to fill, or connect volunteers to their correct lead.
「卡其」負責分類和調度，是資訊管理與協助志工的窗口。活動中仰賴對講機來做即時溝通，然而並非每一件事務都適合交由巡邏員處理；這時就可以呼叫「卡其」來評估哪個角色適合前往支援：或許是醫護組/ 巡邏員/ 綠點（精神狀態為清醒、心理專業相關者… 等）適合接手，或是多角色合力接手。卡其需要記錄下所有發生的情況與實際應對，作為未來活動如何能做得更好的提醒與準備。最後，卡其協助志工輪班的時段，若遇有空缺需要人力支援時，就將志工與該小組負責人聯繫上。 - Mercenaries– Mercenaries work under Khaki to help with quick situations that require an extra set of hands. When other volunteer crews (especially Gate, Greeters, and Placement) need an extra set of hands, a bathroom break, food, water bottle refill, etc. They call Khaki to send a Mercenary for short term extra help!
「僱傭兵」在卡其手下工作，在緊急狀況時成為助力。 當其他志工（尤其是報到守衛組、迎賓組、及空間規劃組）因故暫離崗位、或需要食物與飲水補給時，只需要呼叫卡其，就能獲得僱傭兵的指派支！
