ISSTD is an organization that is unique in the fact that many of its projects and actions are volunteer-led. Members have the opportunity to get involved with ISSTD in a variety of ways that involve various time commitments and skill sets. A great way to begin your journey is through a small project volunteer opportunity.
These opportunities are short-term and are not typically a huge time commitment, but they are equally important and provide opportunities to connect with other ISSTD members. After your small project is complete, you may have gained a better understanding of the types of projects you are interested in. With this knowledge, you can continue your journey onto a committee or a different small project. Our volunteer match website is very much a choose your own adventure as we want you to find the opportunity that is the right fit for you!
There are several small project opportunities that are currently available. If you are interested in getting involved with the marketing leading up to the Annual Conference, check out the Annual Conference Committee – Marketing Volunteer Position! This is open to all ISSTD members.

Ambassadors will help with registration and other tasks before the conference as well as during breaks, and in return, will receive a discount on conference registration. This is a great way to build connections with others at the conference.
