Call for Head-Organisers

EYP Austria has seen many unique highlights this year. This is made possible with the help of many diligent and passionate young people who are organising these events with their visions and ideas. Meanwhile, we are restless, and we are now looking for the ones who will lead EYP Austria’s future events to glory.

Concretely, we are looking for Head-Organisers for the Austrian Alumni Weekend, as well as EYP on Ski.

All Head-Organisers will be working with one member of the Board as their mentor. Documentation and planning documents from previous events will be provided for Head-Organisers. Potential applicants may of course contact the Board, or the Organisers of past events with any questions.
