See one-off volunteer opportunities here. For those interested in getting involved at a more dedicated level, mid-term board vacancies can be filled by board appointment. Please note that members may leave or transition mid-term, so if you are interested in a role that appears to already be taken, we still encourage you to reach out. Get in touch with the officers to learn more.
