Let's Build a Commune
Browse the listings below to see how you can help build the commune during this pivotal early stage. We're always adding and revising this list so continue to check in as the project develops.
Web Developer
Our website is key to communicating our vision, recruiting collaborators, and sharing updates. If you have web development skills—especially in UX/UI design or e-commerce integration—your expertise could be invaluable in crafting a site that captivates our audience.
Graphic Designer
As we prepare to launch our Kickstarter, we need talented designers to create merchandise artwork, including stickers, postcards, shirts, tote bags, buttons, enamel pins, flags, and more. If you’re an artist ready to shoulder some of the creative load, let us know!
Copywriter
If the story and mission of Happy Castle resonates with you, and you think you can help refine and amplify our messaging, let us know. From our website and social media channels to newsletters and promotional campaigns, we’re always in need of skilled writers.
Social Media Specialist
Our Kickstarter’s success hinges on building a strong pre-launch following—around 9,000 people. Right now, our social media presence is minimal, and we need someone with a knack for audience growth, engagement, and strategy to help us build our online presence and spread the word.
Marketing Strategist
Do you have ideas on how to make Happy Castle go viral? We’re looking for someone to craft creative, high-impact marketing campaigns that connect with audiences who share our vision for community, art, and sustainability.
Non-profit & Social Enterprise (Cooperative) Lawyer
As we establish Happy Castle, we need a legal expert to help us structure our organization and navigate the complexities of forming a cooperative, non-profit, or social enterprise. From tax-exemption and regulatory compliance to governance and financial strategy, your expertise will be crucial in ensuring we build a solid foundation for our mission.
Event Planner
While some team members have experience organizing events, nothing we’ve done compares to the scale of Happy Castle. If you have expertise in logistics, vendor coordination, or large-scale festival planning, we could use your skills to make our first event a success.
Screen Printer
Do you own a screen-printing business and want to collaborate with Happy Castle? With a range of merchandise planned for our Kickstarter Rewards—and a vision to expand in the future—this partnership could evolve into a long-term opportunity if your quality and pricing align with our needs.
Videographer & Editor
A key part of Happy Castle is documenting our journey—from launching the Kickstarter to hosting our first festival. We want to share our story on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram to inspire others and build our digital community. If you’re passionate about storytelling through video, let’s talk.
Builders
Do you love working with your hands and don’t mind roughing it in the desert? We’re looking for dedicated builders to help construct communal infrastructure and eco-housing. In exchange for your hard work, you’ll gain off-grid skills and the opportunity to build your own home while living on the land.
Permaculture Designer
Are you passionate about sustainable agriculture and ecosystem restoration? We’re looking for experts to help design our experimental desert nursery, reforestation initiatives, and permaculture systems to create a thriving, food-producing desert oasis. Our first project is mapping and building swales, check-dams, and contour lines across the 160 acre expanse.
Fundraising Specialist
Do you have experience running successful crowdfunding campaigns, securing grants, or managing donor relations? Your skills could help ensure Happy Castle has the financial foundation to thrive.
Volunteer Coordinator
Managing volunteers for workshops, events, and ongoing construction is no small task. If you’re organized, great with people, and love bringing teams together, this role is perfect for you.
Photographer
Help us capture the magic of Happy Castle! We’re looking for photographers to document build days, art installations, and the festival itself. Your work will showcase our project to the world.
Heavy Equipment Operator
Own heavy machinery like excavators or bulldozers? We need skilled operators to help shape the land for domes, art installations, permaculture, and infrastructure. Let’s collaborate—reach out!
WORK TOGETHER
ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES
Join the Movement. Build Community.
Happy Castle Art Camp is a cooperative organization with the mission to build an off-grid, self-sufficient eco-commune and festival in the desert. But beyond just creating a home for ourselves, we aim to inspire the world to build a society that is more connected, uplifting, and sustainable. We all deserve a future as radical, inspiring, and ambitious as what we're building at Happy Castle—but we need to work together to make it happen.
This is our dream, but what's yours? Regardless of our different passions and lifestyles, collaboration allows us all to grow. When we intersect our goals and efforts, we create something greater than the sum of its parts. Successful businesses operate by these same principles, but not every partnership needs to be transactional. The best ones are those motivated not by profit, but rooted in shared values and mutual support. Work with partners that want to see you grow and succeed, not because it'll make them rich, but simply because they believe in what you're building.
An eco-village is one thing, but creating a truly global community that thrives on synergy and shared purpose is another. Maybe you make tiny-homes, or create music, or organize events. If our vision aligns with yours, let’s explore how we can build something extraordinary together. Reach out—we’d love to hear about your ideas.
