We couldn’t run Keswick Convention without the hundreds of volunteers who generously give a week of their time to serve in so many different ways. But did you know you don’t have to volunteer full-time to get involved?
Join our Part-Time Team!
If you’d like to dip your toe into volunteering at Keswick, or you’re taking a break from full-time serving but still want to be part of the team, our part-time roles are a great way to get involved for just a few hours a day.
To apply, simply complete the volunteer application form as usual and select the part-time role you’re interested in.
Please note: We’re not able to offer accommodation, meals, or travel reimbursement for part-time volunteers.
