Volunteer

At WEDO’s headquarters in New York City, there are many opportunities to volunteer and many different ways to do so. If you are interested in interacting directly with WEDO staff members and learning more about environmental and women’s advocacy, here are a few ways to get involved.

Lend a Hand

Have a knack for entertaining? Help out with an upcoming event! WEDO Volunteers are welcome to lend a hand in promoting and hosting events like seminars on grassroots organizing and advocacy, open houses, meet-and-greets with WEDO Partners, and happy hours. Great at organizing and logistics? International conferences like Rio+20 involve careful preparation and teamwork. WEDO Volunteers can aid in the administrative duties and logistics of getting WEDO ready to go!

Join the Friends of WEDO Committee 

If you’d like to make a commitment to supporting WEDO’s work and helping to advance our message, then this option is for you! Members of our newly formed Friends of WEDO Committee serve as ambassadors for WEDO, supporting initiatives and advocacy work through outreach, networking and communications as well as by participating in the production of bi-monthly activities, trainings and special events. Members of the committee will be part of a passionate and dedicated network of like-minded individuals working together towards a just world. There will also be wine and cheese committee meetings, so really, what are you waiting for? Email friends@wedo.org for more information.
