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.

Some available directorship positions are listed below.
