If you’d like to volunteer with us throughout the year, consider joining the GLF teams to hone your skill set.
- SOCIAL MEDIA: Are you an aspiring influencer? Our social media team is always looking for people to grab the world’s attention with eye-catching visuals.
- KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING: If attention to detail is your best quality, our Knowledge and Learning team is always looking for hands and eyes to build the GLF Knowledge Library. You’ll need strong writing skills in English, Spanish or French.
Note
- These are unpaid positions, but a certificate will be provided to each of our volunteers to recognize their contribution.
- These positions are fully remote; there will be no traveling involved.
- The GLF will review applications on a regular basis and connect with selected candidates when opportunities arise. Selected candidates can choose to accept or decline the offer.
- Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
- The duration and time commitment of the position can vary case by case depending on the responsibility. GLF event volunteers will generally only be required around the time of specific conferences.
