The FSQ 2009 counts on the support of hundreds of volunteers for its launch.

From action before, during and after the event, the Quebec Social Forum was built through the energy of people who involve themselves!

We estimate a need of more than 300 volunteers for the event, for a diverse set of tasks such as: reception and registration, distribution of volunteer information and orientation, preparation and serving of food, technical support and computer assembling and installing on-site, safety and first aid, set-up tasks, and simultaneous translation.

  • Fill out the form to choose tasks that interest you and let us know your availability.
  • The form will be automatically sent to the FSQ 2009 Logistics Committee and then you will be contacted. If you have any questions, please contact us at logistique.benevole@fsq2009.org

5 à 8's to meet!

This week we are launching 5 à 8 on Wednesday for FSQ 2009 volunteers. Every Wednesday, you are invited to come have a drink at Saint-Bock, at 1749 Saint-Denis. It will be a time to ask questions, and network while relaxing!
