VOLUNTEERS
Become a volunteer
As a helper at such events, you will join the orienteering community around events that most people can only experience once in their lifetime. We will need help from many volunteers and our wish is to include people coming from many countries.
Our goal is to create a staff that, for someone starting from 2023, will collaborate and increase his experience together over time until being ready for the World Championships.
