Volunteer for the Dipoli Independence Day reception – Associations will be compensated
Does your association need funds for a purchase or an excursion? Do you have keen volunteers to help with the largest Independence Day event of the year?
This year, the volunteers are recruited through associations, because compensation is being paid for volunteering to the association, which they must be able to invoice. Help is needed in the cloakroom, decorations, final cleanup and catering, possibly for other tasks as well.
Apply by sending an informal application by the 11th of September. The application should include the following details:
-what are you gathering funds for (excursion, event, purchase or something else)
-how many volunteers would you bring
-preferred amount of payment with arguments and grounds
Please note that the decisions on payment are based on the overall assessment, so it is possible that the sum offered will differ from the amount you applied for. In this situation, the association can turn down the offer. If there are more applications than slots for volunteers, the associations are chosen based on the applications.
If you have any questions, please contact

- Sign your association up for the Campus Expo!
The Campus Expo is coming again on the 3rd of October 2017 from 11:00 to 15:00, held in the familiar surroundings of Otakaari 1! We are searching for associations to host stands or checkpoints to explain and showcase their activities. Because the event is a part of Aalto Wellbeing Weekend this year, a criterion for associations is that the activities would be tied to the theme, well-being.
Interested? Fill up the form below by Sunday 24th of September. Please let us know in the application how your stand or checkpoint would fit with the theme!
