Volunteer
Volunteer
As a volunteer, you are primarily involved during the LARV fair and PREP-WEEK to assist with the practical aspects of the project. The volunteers are the cornerstones in making it possible to carry out the LARV fair according to the plan set by the project group and the coordinators. Similar to the coordinator posts, the tasks vary greatly between each type of volunteer. A volunteer can, for example, be a receptionist or a driver while a exhibitor volunteer has the task of contacting, meeting and taking care of two exhibitors before and during the fair. See the list below for a complete description of the different types of volunteers and their tasks.
Since most volunteers are appointed a few months before LARV they are not primarily involved in planning the project. Instead, as a volunteer you have an impact on the project through evaluations, workshops and direct contact with the person in charge of your department. Which basically means that your input as a volunteer is highly valuable for future planning of the LARV fair. The period of involvement and work load is for a volunteer generally the shortest and mildest out of the commitments that LARV offers. Expected working hours varies greatly depending on which type of position you want but more often than not it's below 5 hours per week. The position as volunteer is therefore suitable for you who want to test an simpler, less time-consuming commitment or gain a superficial insight on the biggest project on Luleå University of Technology.
