You’ll make our year by volunteering with the International Refugee & Migration Health Conference.
conference volunteer
We need session moderators, planning committee members, and volunteers who can help our coordinator manage logistics on the day to keep the conference running smoothly – working the registration booth, communicating with venue staff about any issues, answering attendee questions, pre-conference set up, and more. In return volunteers are given free conference registration and when not assigned to work shifts can spend that time attending sessions.
Volunteer for Conference
*Priority is given to locals of the conference host city and people with lived experience as refugees/forced displacement.*
