If you're interested in working in events for a non-profit organisation, volunteering as an Events Assistant is a great way to get practical experience and learn a bit more about the sector. As an Events Assistant, you'll be responsible for performing ad hoc duties such as handling special requests, answering telephone and email inquiries and supporting events participants. Through the process, you'll learn how to run a successful event and what it takes to plan and organise a large-scale fundraiser.
