Volunteer with Us
How Does Our Team Work?
Our team is decentralized, working remotely across Denmark (and sometimes beyond), other than a few in-person events. Depending on the role, the time-commitment varies from a couple hours a week to full internships (some long-term, some short and seasonal).Â
Specific roles are advertized through our weekly newsletter and the Last Week in Denmark social media channels – and we’re nearly always looking for helping hands! If you want to be part of the team, email info@lwid.dk with a brief introduction (think a paragraph or two), why you want to be part of the team, and what area(s) of the Last Week in Denmark universe you’d be interested in.
