Volunteers
Why be a volunteer?
MIT Enterprise Forum of the Northwest is run 100% by enthusiastic, committed volunteers who have a stake in growing the Northwest high tech entrepreneurial community. Volunteering is a chance for you to get to work side by side with some of the sharpest business leaders in the Northwest as well as to meet many of industry’s up and coming executives. With a wide range of opportunities for volunteering, your involvement can be as extensive or modest as you wish. It’s a great opportunity to grow your leadership skills, give back to the community and to be part of a strong learning community.
How to get involved?
Volunteer orientations are held periodically throughout the year. Watch for emails on upcoming sessions.
