- How do I find out about volunteer activities?
E-mail easc@iu.edu to get on our volunteer list. Whenever we get a new request, we’ll e-mail you about our current activities to determine your availability.
Do I need to be a native of East Asia/have prior knowledge?
Not at all! We welcome volunteers with all kinds of backgrounds in regards to East Asia! Not only are our events a great way to educate the public but also an opportunity for our volunteers to learn more about other countries/history/culture!
