The Belgian Go Federation is an amateur and friendly association that is always searching for volunteers in many different areas:
- Organization of tournaments: room reservation, follow-up, refereeing
- Promotion of Go, presentation in festivals or schools...
- Infographics, Internet communication or editing tasks
- Translation Dutch/English/French
- Administrative tasks
- Pedagogy, Go teaching
- IT development, maintenance of Internet site
- Transportation, logistic and stock management
- Accounting
...
Do you have a couple of hours per week (or more) free ? Do you feel you can handle some of these tasks ?
To help the Federation, you don't need to be a Go expert: the main qualifications are enthusiasm, the ability to communicate and to perform the tasks you have chosen to handle.
Please send an email to the Federation board (board@gofed.be) and we will take care to find a place for you in our organization.
You are welcome :)
Reimbursement of promotional activities
For promotional activities, such as presenting Go to passersby in a festival, you can get 10 EUR per 1/2 day of promotion as volunteer. This payment purpose is to cover small expanses such as transport and food and encourage players to share Go.
But some requirements must be met:
- the event must be announced IN ADVANCE to the board, with some budget estimation (number of volunteers/day expected)
- the event must have a duration of minimum 1 day
- importantly, there must be an organizer that manages the event(s), ensure other volunteers are present and advance the cash to them, then ask Federation for reimbursement later
once or twice per year (the organizer should use a sheet with event date, names of volunteers, amount paid and volunteers signatures to prove the cash has been distributed).
The purpose of these rules are to ensure costs are under budget control and avoid everyone to spend inefficiently their time on management of micro-events.
