Why volunteer? The reason is different for everyone. Volunteers are people who like to give back – to make a contribution to the community in which they work. Some are individuals with special skill sets who work on specific projects; others like to take the opportunity to meet more people while giving back. Volunteers may have one hour a week, or three hours a month or more – whatever the amount of time you have, we can put your talents to work.

Volunteers are engaged, committed to a bigger cause and looking to reap the maximum benefits from their membership. Volunteering gives members higher visibility that can lead to job offers and new careers; it can enhance the skills you already have and teach you new ones.

SITE SoCal is committed to provide a supporting environment for its volunteers, without whom our chapter would not have the worldwide reputation it enjoys!

Being involved in a committee takes volunteering to another level of engagement with the chapter. Most of our core committee members are people who like to be involved, to make a difference, to increase their visibility and potentially enhance their career prospects. Many of our members have stories where committee work has led to opportunities that wouldn’t have been existed otherwise.

Being part of a committee takes time, which as we all know is an increasingly precious commodity. But the rewards are there. This is your chance to work with the board, become part of the changes that are pushing our chapter on its upward trajectory. It’s more fun to belong to a group of committed people who invest their time because they know that a strong board and effective committees are crucial to our chapter’s growth and success, as well as being advocates for a growing industry.
