Volunteer

Make a difference

Activities 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 at the bottom of this page to indicate your interest. A member of WEF will reach back via email. If you choose to join us, we have a monthly all-member meeting. Beyond that, the level of involvement varies widely, and most volunteer contributions are performed during non-working hours.

**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!: digital media, grant management, and donor relations.
