AFP Global's Volunteer Opportunities

Just joined AFP and don't know where to turn or how to get involved? Long-time member looking for a new, rewarding challenge?

AFP volunteers are at all stages in their development careers, from newcomers to senior-level professionals. They are the heart of AFP – from helping to guide and support the mission of the Association, to developing and sharing knowledge about the profession, and more.

Volunteering is a great way to develop professionally, grow your network, build your career, gain new insights and perspectives, and give back to the fundraising profession.

From running for a Global board position or joining an AFP Global committee, to submitting a proposal for our professional development programming, or becoming a public policy advocate, there's an opportunity here for everyone!
