Discover the diversity of work it takes to build our favourite slice of reality by familiarising yourself with all nine Crews and more than 65 Teams.
The application process will ask you to name the top three dream teams you would love to be considered for in 2024. We hope you find a team you will be excited about joining, but also be open to serving the community in any way that is needed.
All crew experiences teach us about ourselves, relationships and our larger community ….and that is the intention of the project.
