We are currently recruiting volunteers for November 16-19, 2016.

 

Why Volunteer?

It is fulfilling to be able to put your time and resources to a great cause, as non-communicable diseases related to lack of physical activity are becoming a major public health problem. This is a valuable opportunity to gain insights and experience in worldwide efforts to increase levels of physical activity to promote health and wellbeing, by being a crucial part of an international congress with over 1,000 delegates from around the world.                                              

 

As a volunteer for the 6th ISPAH International Congress, you will benefit from participation in international volunteer network and waived a registration fee for the congress. You will receive meals, health insurance, transportation expense, and a t-shirt. Additionally, each volunteer will be presented a “certificate of appreciation” from the ISPAH and Thai Health Promotion Foundation.
