Become an organizer for SSF
Being an organizer
As an organizer, you are one of the few people who make all the decisions that need to be made to get a party like Semesterstartsfesten off the ground! It's nerve-wracking, challenging but also extremely exciting. If you like to try things out in practice, something you're either trained in or maybe something you're just really interested in getting your hands into, then SSF is an opportunity to test it, on the BIG SCALE!
This year we have 2 days, each with 7000 attendees, including the hundreds of volunteers and others working on the site - so you can easily see how much work goes into making it all happen. This is where the team comes in! Without the amazing team that each year brings in new ones and the old ones who go on new adventures, this event wouldn't exist. We are 100% by the students, for the students.
We would love your help so we can continue to throw an amazing party. So if any of the roles sound like something you're interested in - or you'd like to know more, send us an email at ssf@syddanskestuderene.dk
Benefits of being an organizer
Being an organizer is voluntary work, but that doesn't mean you get nothing out of it.
Besides something good for your CV, you also get to socialize! We believe that being a volunteer organizer should be fun and that you should feel that you get something out of it. That's why you get a cabin trip and all sorts of other fun things that can be arranged with our partners or just for ourselves, such as football matches, concerts, dinners and much more!
To become an organizer, you can write an email to ssf@syddanskestuderende.dk Or join us at one of our info nights that we will announce on our social media!
