Biennial Event - Volunteers
The biennial event of Elargis tes Horizons would not be possible without the many dedicated volunteers who give their time and help make the day a success.
We express our gratitude to those—parents, friends, and students—who return faithfully each year. We are particularly delighted to welcome among our volunteers young women who have participated in past events as attendees.
We are looking for young adults (aged 16 and over) and adults to lend a hand at our next event. Help may be needed with advance preparations, logistics on the day, accompanying and guiding the young girls, and much more.
👉 If you would like to join our team of volunteers, please use the contact form at the bottom of this page to send us your contact details, a short cover letter and the contact details of at least one reference.
