Five Great Ways to Volunteer Through AISES

As a high school or college student, you may have been connected to AISES in any number of ways. Now, as a working professional, you may find it harder to keep those ties with the organization. One simple way to make sure you stay connected and involved — and support the AISES mission — is volunteering. There are many great ways to volunteer with AISES as a working professional. Here are just a few.

 

Serve on an Advisory Council

AISES has seven different advisory councils, in areas ranging from corporate to Tribal Nations. Each council is responsible for advising AISES regarding their respective sectors, and engaging with the larger community to identify projects, initiatives, and events that strengthen AISES as an organization and drive it forward. Joining an advisory council will allow you to help guide and shape AISES, and provide students with some of the same opportunities you enjoyed.

Why is it a good idea to volunteer — personally and professionally?

Volunteering your own resources (time, monetary, networking, etc.) allows you to give back to the community or organization that has helped you both professionally and personally throughout your journey. Nothing gets done by one person alone — we have to band together to make the changes we want to see in our community and our nation.
