There are many ways in which you can contribute your expertise, ranging from supporting our Helpline Service to maintaining our website; from joining our research units to helping with the financial management of the organization; from giving internal lectures in your field of expertise to preparing grant proposals; from organizing fund-raising events to translating research publications into other languages.
And you do not need to be a member of CV in order to contribute your expertise. Some people in fact may not wish to become members but still want to support Confederazione Veneziana's work.

We are currently looking for volunteers with expertise in any of the following areas:

• law
• accounting
• business planning
• financial management
• marketing
• information systems (IT)
• website support/maintenance
• media-relations
• fund-raising
• languages (English, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, etc.)
• organizing public events
• producing publications
• creating advertising material
• preparing grant proposals

You can work at the times that suit you best, and in a role that fits in with your interests. And helping CV will not leave you out of pocket, as the organisation will cover any travel costs.
Contact us even if your area of expertise is not in the above list. Whatever your professional expertise, there are many ways in which you can contribute to our efforts. And, your contribution - however large or small - will always be welcome!

By volunteering your expertise you will have the satisfaction of playing an active part in the fight for institutional reforms and heritage protection in Northeast Italy.
As a volunteer, you will be sharing in the daily life of the organization and you will have the possibility of having your saying in the planning and execution of CV's activities. You will also be able to give feedback on the organization's performance and you will be supporting public awareness of CV's work.

Furthermore, you will have the chance of meeting and getting to know other individuals who - just like you - strongly believe in CV's mission. And, needless to say, you will be able to obtain discounted tickets at all CV events (at higher discount than normally reserved to members), and you will have preferential booking and allocation of seats. You will also have preferential access (and a special discount) to all of CV's in-house Continuing Education training courses.

As a volunteer sacrificing your time and revenue, you will also receive public recognition and appreciation during CV's annual dinner.
When you clock up 150 volunteer hours/year you will receive the special Saint Mark lapel pin. At 300 h/year you will also receive an engraved pen in a deluxe gift box, and at 500 h/year you will receive a special certificate on parchment attesting your invaluable contribution to the organization.
Furthermore, when you clock 500 hours you will have the right to take part in all of CV's Special Events where participation is by invitation only.
