Volunteering for LSuC

Learning Societies unConference is entirely organized in the spirit of gift culture and run by multiple volunteers. We feel everyone is a volunteer, a teacher, a co-creator. We believe in creating a space of love and sharing where everyone takes part in co creating. But to manage a huge crowd we need some special people to work along us to create a fulfilling experience for everyone. They form the backbone of our entire gathering.

We have multiple opportunities to choose from depending upon your skills or what you would want to learn and experience during the event.
