Hi there!
I'm so excited to invite you to apply to volunteer at the 2026 WLC! The WLC magic is made possible by the care, creativity, time, and passion that volunteers pour into the planning and execution of the seminar. It's an honor to have the opportunity to build a team of volunteers who will bring all of their unique skills and perspectives to this work. I hope you'll consider joining the team, and I can't wait to see the ways we grow together while building an amazing experience for ambassadors.
