Volunteering for small things, with a big impact. Volunteering offers flexibility to volunteer within IEEE. Through this platform, IEEE members will be able to advertise and search for volunteering opportunities, be it short- or long-term, local or remote, or requiring different skills.
What is IEEE Volunteering?
IEEE members’ free time is limited. Some of the participants might want to be active IEEE volunteers but with the shift to working and managing their careers, they find it challenging to volunteer, continuously or on a regular basis. The IEEE Volunteering platform helps address such needs by introducing a degree of flexibility to volunteer within IEEE. The platform allows members to advertise and search for volunteering opportunities, based on short- or long-term availability, local or remote preferences, or their unique skills as an individual.
IEEE is built on the strength of its members and their volunteer efforts throughout the organization. Most IEEE programs require member involvement to facilitate the planning and execution of projects, events, etc. Volunteering not only benefits IEEE as an organization but is also one of the key benefits available to members.
As an IEEE volunteer, you will play a key role in the future of the organization. From technical and student activities to student outreach, membership development, and history, you can impact your area of expertise.
