About
Brethren.
The VicBears volunteer program.
Brethren is the VicBears volunteer program. Brethren are the people who turn up early, stay late, and help run the events that make up the VicBears calendar — Den Nights, AquaBear sessions, BearFest sub-events, Southern HiBearnation nights, pageants, the lot.
Anyone can be a Brethren. Members and non-members, partners and friends, regulars and first-timers. If you're willing to pitch in, you're in. There's no formal application, no membership fee, no minimum hours — just a willingness to help when help is needed.
The payoff is the room. You see the festival from the inside. You meet the people on the other side of the bar. You get to be the person who makes the night work. And you'll get a Brethren shirt, because the bear community has always loved a shirt.
