Ljubljana Pride Association is looking for an ESC volunteer to become an LGBTIQ+ Volunteering Ambassador!
We are looking for an LGBTIQ+ volunteer to join us to support the work with other volunteers of the Ljubljana Pride Festival 2025 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. During the Festival we usually engage with more than 80 volunteers, including a group of ESC volunteers. Supporting that process can provide a lot of great learning experiences and a first hand experience of how to work with (LGBTIQ+) volunteers!
This call is for you if you are:
- An LGBTIQ+ person aged 18-30 and living in the EU;
- Passionate about volunteering and activism,
- An individual with previous volunteering experience;
- A person who enjoys working directly with people;
- Comfortable in creative, chaotic environments, as well as with office routines (which include a lot of planning and structure)
- You’re curious and resourceful when tackling challenges and able to adapt to changes and re-plan on the spot;
- Interested in working with volunteers and looking to further develop knowledge and skills in the area;
- A fluent English communicator with a love for teamwork and social change.
We are looking for someone to join us for a few months in Ljubljana – ideally from April to the end of June. Starting dates are flexible, but latest on 5th of May 2025, and to finish the project with 30th of June.
Apply by sending a motivation letter and your CV (with a focus on volunteering experiences and/or work with volunteers) to evs@ljubljanapride.org.
Deadline for application: Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and we may close the application process early if a suitable candidate is found. However, all decisions will be made by March 15th at the latest.

Your tasks will primarily include supporting the implementation of the LGBTIQ+ volunteering program activities. You will be supporting the day-to-day office work, which entails the promotion of volunteering opportunities, official correspondence, the organisation of events, carrying out workshops, as well as logistical and administrative support.

You will be working on an everyday basis with a LGBTIQ+ coordinator and support them in the organisation of work of volunteers (preparing schedules and tasks for volunteers, ensuring hands-on support during the volunteering tasks, supporting creation of good group dynamics, planning mentoring process, organising logistics…) and with volunteers. This includes a group of ESC volunteers joining for a month to support the festival and all other Pride Festival volunteers who participate in diverse tasks and few volunteering groups.
