Volunteering at Fest

Limmud is a community of volunteers – and Limmud Fest is run entirely by a team of volunteers. Every skill you offer is welcome; any time you can give is precious. Let us know what your skills are and we will create your volunteering opportunity around YOU.

One of the best ways to enjoy Fest, whether a first timer or old hand, is by helping make the diverse parts of the event come to life.

Some of the hundreds of roles you can do:

- Help lost people become found again

- Make a huge mess decorating

- Paint children's faces

- Set up camping

- Usher people to their tents

- Listen and talk to participants

- Help run a session

- Make cocktails

- Work with Fest children and young people

- Or anything else you might think of!

YAD Scheme

The YAD (Young Adult Development) Scheme is essential to Limmud Fest. Volunteering as a YAD allows for a huge range of activities to take place for everyone involved at Fest.

This year, as part of our commitment to place YADs in positions that offer a rewarding experience, we are enabling those interested in the scheme to YAD for one, two, three or four days of Limmud Fest.

In order to YAD, you must be present at Fest from 10am on the days you indicate, except Friday when you must be present from 1pm. You will receive a £20/day discount for up to three days, and a £100 discount if you are a YAD for four days of Fest. All beneficiaries of the YAD scheme are expected to be active participants in the roles allocated to them.

This year, all applicants for the YAD scheme will apply within their application to Fest. Tick the relevant box on the web application form, and your extra details can be provided.
