Have you always wanted to help with Zimfest but don’t have time to join the Zimfest board or be part of an organizing committee? Join me in becoming one of a large group of short-term project volunteers who would be available to help future event planning in a different and creative way. Choose your project! Match your skills and ideas! Have fun! Build the community! Build your resume! Work with others, work by yourself, two hours, one month, etc – your choice. The Zimfest Board has come up with a list of ideas below, or create your own!
Just send an email to za-volunteers [at] zimfest {dot} org if you would like to be part of this valuable team. Let me know your interest and ideas and I’ll help you with your project now or in the future.
