Join the Network
There’s a lot of ways people choose to connect and we’ve attempted to create as many ways as possible. Here’s a few:
The easiest way to get involved with us is to start by subscribing to our communication channels!

Do you have an idea for a project? Projects are the backbone of Burners Without Borders.
Anyone can create a BWB project if it is mission and value aligned. We try to bring as much creativity and collaboration to our projects as possible & think about how the Burning Man 10 Principles influence the work.
Steps to creating a project:
- Check out our Create a Project Page
- Consider reading our Kickstarting Local Projects Tool-kit
- Fill out our Project Proposal Form
Join your local BWB community group
Over the years, projects in local regions have turned into long-term communities. We call the looser informal communities ‘Working Groups’ and our more established communities ‘Chapters’. There are currently ~40 different Chapters and Working groups (2022).
What if there isn’t a BWB Chapter or Working Group in my area?
We encourage you to find a “community of practice.”
Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. By putting ideas into practice, we improve and prepare for when it counts the most. We often refer to all and parts of our global network as communities of practice.
Your community of practice can include your friends, family, neighbors, people you meet online or other people you find through shared interests.
- If you are looking to expand your community the Burning Man Regional Community is a great place to start!
