WE NEED YOUR HELP:
New Ways To Get Involved

We are looking for up to 3 Regional Facilitators per IYPF region: Oceania, Asia, Africa, Europe & The Middle East, North America and Latin America & The Caribbean. Many applications have already been received - but some regions still need more volunteers!
We need volunteers to help us prepare for the International Young Professionals Summit in 2013. We are looking to build an IYPS 2013 organising sub-committee which will be responsible for everything from researching and deciding where the summit should be held to the hands on organising closer to the date.
IYPF is a volunteer-based organisation and we area always looks for people to help send out communications/ update the website/ do various admin tasks. If you would like to get your foot in the door, why not start by helping us out.
