Opportunities to Volunteer

Each year the West Virginia Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics looks for members who are interested in volunteering with the organization. Volunteers serve on a committee for one year (start June 1). Time commitment varies depending on your availability. Committees generally communicate by email and conference calls.

 

Why volunteer?

              -- Help others.                                                           -- Make a difference.

              -- Find purpose.                                                        -- Enjoy a meaningful conversation.

              -- Connect with your community/profession.      -- Feel involved.

              -- Use your skills in a productive way.                    -- Recognition & respect.

              -- Contribute to a cause that you care about.       -- Broaden skills.
