How to Get Involved
Help us out with working!
Volunteering at a nation is the easiest way to get involved in Lund's student life. Kalmar Nation offers many different opportunities to be active! You can work kitchen or bar during pub nights, lunches, or sittnings. You get to meet loads of new people while working on your cooking skills or learning to pour beer like a champion!
We also offer other ways to become active, like our comedy theatre production called Spex, our choir collaboration with Blekingska and Wermlands nations, sports & outdoors events, and non-alcoholic activities. You can even put your art skills to use and help us design posters and other PR! Being active at Kalmar gives you the opportunity to go to special events. Above all, you also become a part of our family!
Want to volunteer for Kalmar Nation? Our foremen regularly post new opportunities to be active in our Facebook group and Discord server!
