Volunteering

In collaboration with Visit Lillehammer, the International Office at Campus Lillehammer offers our exchange and international full-degree students the possibility of volunteering at various events during their stay at INN University.

Want to volunteer?

Students can volunteer at a wide variety of events in Lillehammer, such as outdoor sports events (World Cup events, Raw Air, Norwegian Championship, European cups etc.) and cultural events (Lillehammer Live, the Norwegian Festival of Literature in Lillehammer, the Amandus - Lillehammer International Student Film Festival etc.).

The offer varies for each semester, and all events might not fit everyone. Some have limited offers, while others have a wide variety of options for the volunteers to choose between. What offers are available will be provided directly to students.

Frequently asked questions

What is volunteering, and why should I volunteer?

Volunteering entails offering to do something for someone you do not have to do without expecting payment. It is a wonderful opportunity to gain valuable experiences while doing good deeds. To make successful events, most events are in dire need of volunteers. There are various winter sports and cultural events to sign up for.

This is the perfect thing to put on your resume. By volunteering, you have gained valuable practical experience. You also have the opportunity to create networks and become more attractive to employers.

How many can sign up for each event?

It depends on how many volunteers each event needs. If there is a limit, the information will be included in the sign-up or provided directly by the events after sign-up. 

How many events can I volunteer at?

There is no limit, but you have to make sure you can go to your classes and study during your stay with us.

What kind of tasks can I do?

This differs from event to event. Some tasks will be announced in the information meeting. However, you will be informed of which tasks you can sign up for in the sign-up form for each event or later by the ones in charge of volunteers.
