Business for Peace is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to be part of the Business for Peace Summit in Oslo. Are you interested in joining us the 13th and 14th of May, 2020? Send a short CV and cover letter to jobs@businessforpeace.org. Deadline for this year’s applications is Friday 3 April. More information about our volunteer programme is below.
The Business for Peace Foundation seeks to unlock the positive power of business in society and inspire a higher form of capitalism.

We are looking to create a team of talented individuals who believe that we can make the Summit a truly memorable experience. We require a commitment of 2-3 days or evenings for orientation prior to the Summit, and then another 48 hours of volunteering during the Summit in Oslo.
