Continue to Google FormsYour application information
When applications open, Google Forms will collect your answers for recruitment and volunteer arrangements. We will use a separate linked Google Sheet for each track. Our access rule is that only Aman Kumar and Amit Pathak have full access to the Forms and Sheets. A relevant role lead may receive selected details needed to consider your role, but not access to all responses. We will verify these permissions before accepting applications. We do not ask for gender or use applications for marketing.
Aman or Amit will delete application responses from both Forms and linked Sheets, along with review copies under our control, within 90 days after 4 April 2027. They will check that deletion is complete. To ask for a copy, correction or earlier deletion, email [email protected]. This inbox is shared with the founding team and team leads; Aman or Amit handles application-data requests. Do not send sensitive records or conduct reports in the form or your first email.
Read the site privacy policy for more about your choices and Google as a service provider.
08 Questions
Before you apply
Still unsure? [email protected]
Does it cost me anything?
No application fee. Entry and meals are covered on your days. Travel and stay are yours unless you have written approval.
Who will I report to?
A named role lead, agreed before you start. Amit Pathak coordinates applications, with Aman Kumar overseeing.
Can I volunteer with a friend?
You can both apply. Roles and shifts are decided individually, so we cannot promise you will work together.
I am under 18. Can I volunteer?
This call is for people aged 18 or older. Attendee tickets have their own conditions.
Can I change my mind later?
Yes. Tell your coordinator promptly, ideally seven days before your first shift. Emergencies are an exception.
