Meet WEF volunteers and learn how you can become a member of the WEF Team. ALL are welcome who have an interest in WEF’s mission to provide enrichment activities for all Wakefield public school students and to celebrate excellence in education!

Make a difference

Jobs both large and small. Ideas both heady and practical. WEF can use your perspective and your assistance in bringing educational enrichment to Wakefield’s students.

Please submit the form below to indicate your interest. A member of WEF will reach back via email. If you choose join us, we have a full-foundation monthly meeting. Beyond that, level of involvement varies widely, and you will shape yours.

Please Note: No experience is needed to volunteer with WEF; we welcome any and all who have an interest in helping WEF to fulfill its mission. That said, if you have any experience or interest in the following areas, we could use you!: social media, grant management, and donor relations.
