Volunteer for International Week

International Week volunteers at the Volunteer Party, February 6, 2010.

International Week is made possible by the effort of over a hundred volunteers every year. Volunteers play an important role in the events and programs that we provide to the campus and Edmonton community. Volunteering for International Week is a great way to for students and community members to get involved in the global education community at the University of Alberta and get valuable work experience.

We seek volunteers for many different positions, depending on your interest and availability. If you have a lot of time, you may be interested in joining our backstage concert crew or writing for our blog. If you don't have much time but would still like to get involved, you may want to help with poster hanging, classroom announcements, or writing thank you cards for our guests. Some positions begin in early January, and others during International Week, from January 30 - Feb 30, 2012.

You can find our full list of volunteer position descriptions and application form below. For information on all of the dates volunteers are needed for training and workbee sessions, consult the following chart or download their respective calendars below.
