VOLUNTEER

Thousands of volunteers on all 6 continents organise more than 80 Limmuds per year.
Personal contribution of everyone is a fundamental principle of Limmud. Organizers, presenters, participants, we all put in our time and energy selflessly, gratuitously and voluntary.

How does this work

At Limmud everyone can find a good and a useful task. We grouped all the tasks and so formed volunteer committees. Team titles and role descriptions might be subject to minor adjustments up until the beginning of Limmud. Each volunteer chooses a type of activity consistent with their skills or makes a willful decision to do something completely new within one of the committees.
