One of the best ways to get involved with EWB is to volunteer as a director. Whether you're looking to learn more about international development, be part of a team, buff up your resume, create social change or just have fun, volunteering as an EWB director is a great experience.

Most directorship roles are extremely flexible and require a commitment of less than five hours a week. Because EWB is a student-based volunteer organization, there is always room for innovation. Directors have considerable choice and ownership in exactly how their roles develop.

Available volunteer positions are listed below. For other ways to get involved visit Getting Involved.
