Work Trade at MRF '25

We are thrilled to be opening up work-trade positions for MRF. This is your chance to be a part of an incredible all-female team, co-creating one of the most beautiful women’s events in the world! We are so grateful you want to join us and we can’t wait to have you on the team.  

There is a $500 deposit required to apply for a work trade position.

If you are not accepted into the program, the money will be returned to you.

If you are accepted, the deposit secures your place in our work trade program and is returned to you after the event once the work-trade duties have been fulfilled.

The work trade program provides all meals, requires an early arrival on June 16th, and has an expectation of 30-40 work hours. 

  Once accepted into the program, no refunds are issued whatsoever, until the duties are fulfilled. Should you decide not to attend MRF or while at the event not show up for your duties, you forfeit the deposit of $500. This is to ensure we are vetting for reliable work-traders that we can depend on! 

Below are the departments we are filling for work-trade positions. In the application, you will have the option to list these in order of preference. We do not guarantee that you will be placed in any specific department, however we do take your preferences into consideration. The expectation is our work-traders are happy and willing to be placed in any department and go where they are needed for the optimal flow of the event. Everyone will meet with their department on the evening of the 16th, and help set up and intake on arrival day.
