The volunteers will support the Helga board in various practical arrangements. The tasks of the volunteer committee are divided on the basis of one&#8217;s own interests and expertise. As a member of Helga Staff, you get to practice e.g. organizing events and you get in touch with the student active\u2019s tasks without committing to an association&#8217;s board. As a volunteer, you decide for yourself how much you want to commit and how much time you are willing to put into it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;-100px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;6px||130px|||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;6px||60px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;80px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#845498&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;2vw&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;5vw&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;7vw&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>What is the volunteer committee all about?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;50px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width=&#8221;70%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first volunteers began in August 2021 during orientation week.
