Volunteers - individuals
who freely offer their time and energy, their experience and skill,
as workers with the Assembly Local Committee (Winnipeg) to
facilitate the operations and procedures of the Assembly. No payment
is made for this service. Normally these persons are individual
members of an LWF member church, from which an endorsement is
requested.
Individuals from Winnipeg and area, and from places around the
world, are welcome to apply to serve as volunteers at the LWF
Tenth Assembly in Winnipeg.

General information
- Volunteers must be able to communicate in English. Capabilities in
other languages is a valuable asset.
- Volunteers must pay their own travel, accommodation and some
meal costs. They are responsible for their own travel and visa
arrangements.
- The Assembly Local Committee will assist volunteers in making
arrangements for local accommodation. Options include hotels,
university residences and staying with a local family (called
"billeting"). Volunteers are responsible for their own
costs.
- Volunteers must complete an application form through the
Assembly Local Committee. This helps to match volunteers and
their gifts with specific needs.
- Volunteers will be asked to provide a reference from their
church.
- As their work assignments allow, and as space permits, volunteers may attend Assembly worship and plenary sessions.
- No program has been planned for
children. Their care is the responsibility of parents.
