Volunteering

Volunteering gives you the chance to take part in a unique way, enriching your experience and giving you the chance to develop skills you can use in your own community.

• Learn a new skill, or polish up an existing one.
• Add something solid to your cv.
• Meet new people.
• Get more from Conference - volunteers nearly always find that their Conference experience is richer.
• Or just bask in the warm feeling that you’ve made a contribution to the most influential Jewish event in the world.

We need people to help prepare for Conference and we need people to help run things at Conference. There are volunteer roles that take just a few days of your time and roles that are really substantial. Whether you have one hour or one hundred, there’s something that you can do to make Conference the success it is.

You could be part of the bar team or manage transport arrangements for presenters. You could help to create family programming or manage the dining-room. You could be helpful on the help-desk or express yourself by helping decorate the site. Everything that happens at Conference is done by volunteers, so the roles are hugely varied and there are lots of them!

Check out our volunteer vacancy board for details of jobs that need filling. If you’d like to chat through the possibilities without commitment, get in touch: conf08-volunteers@limmud.org

 

• Join the Conference Team
  Whatever your age, background or experience, we’ll welcome you with open arms! Get in touch: conf08-volunteers@limmud.org
• Join the Young Adult Development Scheme (YAD)
  If you’re between 18 and 30, you could cut your Conference fee by a healthy £220 - just for volunteering four hours of your time each day at Conference. Check out the details.
• Join Young Limmud as a volunteer - free Conference place!
• If you’re between 18 and 30 and you want to work with young people between 4 and 17, we’ll give you the chance - and a free place at Conference. You’ll spend your day with Young Limmud and still have late afternoon and evenings to go to Conference sessions. We also offer 'flexi-spots' - allowing you to work late so you can go to morning sessions. Get in touch: conf08-ylc@limmud.org
• Become a presenter
  If you love your subject and you have something engaging to say, why not present a session? Get in touch with the programming team: conf08-programming@limmud.org
• Help out at Conference
  There are dozens and dozens of jobs that need doing once Conference is underway - registering participants, helping people find their way round the site, calming queues, moving chairs - lots and lots more. Without a small army of volunteers, Conference would simply not happen.
• If you can help for a few hours, we’ll love you forever! Look out for the volunteer desk at Conference and sign up there and then.
