There are a lot of projects going on and every helping hand is welcome. However, there are a few things we expect from a new member in the taskforce:

(1) You should have IPP experience as a participant or staff.
(2) You should be able to attend the next AIM.

If you're interested, please contact us throughout the year, and tell us a bit about yourself and your CISV and professional experience. Maybe there's even a concrete idea you have in mind...
