WIT is proud to offer a wealth of volunteer placements available to enhance business skills, leadership capability, and networking. Anyone interested in volunteering with WIT should submit their application and will be notified as of next steps as soon as possible – typically within a few weeks. The volunteer term runs January through December for all placements, unless otherwise noted.
WIT utilizes the concept of strategic volunteering whereby selected volunteers are placed based on interests and skills that match current WIT volunteer openings. When reviewing applications and assigning volunteer placements WIT will consider your available time, fit of skills and needs, leadership experience, and seniority based upon past service to the organization. Availability of placements varies annually. Applicants are not guaranteed a volunteer placement.
Volunteers who do not adhere to the rules and procedures of WIT or who fail to satisfactorily perform their volunteer assignment are subject to dismissal. Possible grounds for dismissal may include, but are not limited to, the following: gross misconduct or insubordination, theft or misuse of WIT materials, abuse or mistreatment of clients, staff or other volunteers, failure to abide by WIT policies and procedures, and failure to satisfactorily perform assigned duties. WIT also forbids volunteers from directly soliciting program participants and attendees though there are other opportunities for visibility and professional development.
