WILL YOU PAY FOR MY EXPENSES?
We are unable to cover expenses for volunteers, which means that if you want to get involved, you will need to cover the costs of travelling to the venue and staying in Lagos (for those who do not reside in Lagos).
WHAT OTHER BENEFITS?
Volunteering at WordCamp Lagos is a unique way to contribute to and support the event. It comes with certain perks. You get to interact with a room full of professionals & newbies, you learn & grow your network. You also become an amazing part of the community, which means you get the news first about exciting opportunities within the WordPress ecosystem.
If you are employed, why not see if you can persuade your boss to send you. We will put together some pretty compelling reasons to help you convince them.
Remember that if you volunteer, or are sending an employee to volunteer, you must meet the WordCamp Central guidance for volunteers.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Once you are accepted as a volunteer at WordCamp Lagos, you will be added to the volunteer team and depending on your skills, you will be assigned various tasks to carry out before the event and on the day.
On the day(s), you will be carrying out your assigned tasks, working as part of a team that we hope will run like clockwork.
