Volunteer
At WEF, we offer the opportunity for students to gain practical experience and connect with industry leaders in the field of Project Management.
Volunteer Opportunities
People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some, it offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others, it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge.
To get the most out of your volunteer experience, we encourage you to pursue your interests, challenge yourself by trying new activities and get connected with others. You can choose from volunteer opportunities in a variety of areas that can match your skills, interests, and availability.
