Before you apply

Please do not just show up as a volunteer.

Volunteer spots are limited, especially on Tuesdays. Please apply first and wait for us to get back to you before attending as a volunteer.

  • First time volunteers should come at 5pm.
    We use this time to explain the event, the venue flow and what we need help with before guests arrive.
  • We will give you a drink and shared food.
    This is a volunteer/community role, but we want you to feel looked after while helping.
  • Tuesday applications are currently closed.
    You can still apply for Tuesday, but you will be added to the waiting list.
  • Social media participation is part of volunteering.
    We ask volunteers to follow Linguas, tag us when posting from events and help reshare relevant posts, stories and announcements.
Tuesday waitlist

Tuesday volunteer spots are currently closed

Tuesdays are one of our more limited events for volunteers. You can still apply and select Tuesday Linguas - waitlist only, but please wait until we contact you before coming in. Thursday applications are still open depending on the week.

What volunteers help with

What we are looking for

We are looking for reliable, friendly and socially active people who enjoy meeting new people and being part of a community. Volunteers help us both at events and online, including welcoming newcomers, supporting activities, tagging Linguas and resharing relevant social posts.

  • Welcoming guests
    Help people find the host table, understand the event and feel included.
  • Language and social flow
    Help people find conversations, language tables or activities.
  • Games and activities
    Help with social games, party activities, gaming nights or small-group events.
  • Content and social media
    Social media is part of every volunteer role. Help us capture events, tag @linguas.au, reshare content and, where suitable, take part in reels, interviews, photos and collaborative posts.
  • Language & country ambassadors
    Represent a language or country in our community. Collaborate with us on social posts, cultural features, language content and event promotions, and help share Linguas with your community.

Volunteer application

Fill this in and we will get back to you if there is a suitable spot. Please wait for confirmation before coming in as a volunteer.

Social media participation is part of volunteering with us.
We run regular Linguas nights plus special events, gaming socials, collaborations and seasonal outdoor events. Tuesday volunteer spots are currently closed and will be treated as waitlist applications.
First-time volunteers are expected to arrive at 5pm so we can explain the event before guests arrive.

By applying, you understand that submitting this form does not automatically confirm a volunteer spot. Please wait for us to contact you before attending as a volunteer. Social media participation, including following Linguas, tagging us and resharing relevant event content, is part of the volunteer role.
