Volunteers: share the challenge!
The Rubik’s presents WCA European Championship 2020 will be fully organised and supervised by volunteers. Almost 200 volunteers will be active. You can be one of them – and help make the European Championship a great success!
What can you expect as a volunteer?
- A great experience
- Free drinks (maybe more)
- Unique WCA Euro 2020 t-shirts
- A gift pack
- Are you a competitor? Then you can participate for free! You will receive a personal schedule in which both your volunteer work and competing are listed.
Almost everyone can be a volunteer
Cubers, non-cubers, competitors, non-competitors, youngsters, seniors: almost everyone can be a volunteer. We need volunteers for different jobs: judging/scrambling, score taking, ticket office, supervising non-official events, website, social media, press, build-up/clear-up team etc.
Being a volunteer means hard work. It is important to realize that! You will be assigned to a team and given a personal schedule, including your volunteer tasks and – if you are also a competitor – your own participation in the competition.
Please apply via MyEuro. Not everyone will be accepted as a volunteer! Please only apply if you meet the requirements for the jobs. Delegates from all over Europe help us with the assessment. Some applications will be accepted within a few days, others after a few months, others may be rejected. This depends on the job you are applying for, your experience, your availability and whether you are already familiar with the organisation team or the delegates.
