What you'd be taking on
Hands-on crew support across setup on Friday and breakdown on Sunday for a community festival. The organising team is small and needs extra hands for the physical logistics. Without extra crew, setup and breakdown risk running over and delaying the event.
The Programme
Six phases, brief to handover
Every RogueBoard project runs the same six phases. Each one below carries the part of the brief it owns.
The task-by-task breakdown is written with the team when the project starts and opens in the workspace on day one. What's below is the brief as it stands today.

FAQs
Common questions
Is this project paid?
No — RogueBoard projects are unpaid. What you earn is real experience, portfolio evidence, and a verified reference.
Can beginners join?
Depends on the role — check the Difficulty rating and each role's required skills above. Several roles on this project are beginner-friendly.
What if I miss a meeting?
Let your Project Lead know in advance where possible. One missed check-in won't remove you from the team, but consistent attendance is expected.
Can I leave early?
You can step back from a project, but try to hand off your work cleanly so the team and the credential process aren't disrupted.
Will I receive a reference?
Yes — completing your role to the agreed standard earns a verified RogueBoard credential and a reference you can point employers or clients to.
