World Justice Forum is currently seeking up to 40 volunteers available in The Hague, Netherlands, between April 29 and May 2, 2019. As an essential part of the success of the Forum, volunteers facilitate and support the work of every part of the event. World-class leaders and change agents in every field will depend on the professionalism and courtesy of Staff and Volunteers to create a welcoming and comfortable environment.
Why Volunteer?
Forum Volunteers will aide in facilitating the generation of projects that will foster communities of justice, opportunity and peace for people around the world. Working behind-the-scenes at the Forum can also be a wonderful opportunity to gain valuable experience in conference coordination and management on an international scale. Whenever possible, volunteers will be given the opportunity outside of the hours of their shift to observe Forum sessions. Volunteers are also welcome to enjoy the official Forum luncheons if they occur before or after the day's shift.
Requirements
Preference will be given to volunteers who can be available multiple dates between April 29 and May 2, 2019, and prior to the Conference for Orientation on April 28. Volunteers come from a wide variety of backgrounds: they can be junior-level legal professionals, university students, pensioners, or interested community members. Successful World Justice Forum Volunteers will be reliable, timely, courteous, and flexible. We hope that they are curious about new ideas, and we expect they will be respectful of people from a wide variety of cultures and traditions. Most positions require fluency in English. Additional language skills will be a valuable asset.
