Volunteering

It's your Conference
Volunteers are the backbone of Limmud: Conference simply wouldn’t happen without them. Last year, over 300 people - more than one in every ten participants - offered some of their time to make Conference the success it was. Limmud Conference is a warm and welcoming community because so many volunteers invest so much effort into making it just that.

Why volunteer for Conference?
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.

I want to volunteer for Conference – what can I do?
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!
