Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Cornell World Languages Day. We are excited to have you share your passion for languages, cultures, and global issues with the participating middle and high school students on October 26, 2024.

Who can help?

Any Cornell undergrad or graduate student (or faculty/staff!) who has an interest in learning about other cultures and languages.
Students with experience in Cornell language courses, study abroad, international student groups, and majors related to languages or international relations are especially needed.

What's in it for me?

Free t-shirt
Free lunch
Verification of volunteer hours if requested
But most of all - a lot of fun!

What kinds of volunteer jobs are there?

Volunteers are needed in many different capacities, including:

Set-up **
Participant registration **
Session room monitors
Staff room/presenter check in
Registration area and information table
Escorts around session sites
General "go-fer" help

Items with a ** are in the morning and are the areas where we have the largest need for volunteers. Signing up for morning availability will guarantee you a fun and busy morning!
