Please join us for our next our next “Discover PMI - Ask Us Anything!” webinar, Ask Us Anything - A World of Volunteer Opportunities with PMI! on 22 September at 12:00PM EDT.
In this installment of the Discover PMI – Ask Us Anything Series, we will provide an overview on the benefits of how Volunteering is at the heart of the Project Management Institute. From serving on the PMI Board of Directors to writing certification exam items, running a local PMI chapter to creating and reviewing content like the PMBOK Guide, PMI volunteers are the backbone of the Institute around the globe.
Spend an entire hour with two of your very own PMI Volunteer Engagement Specialists, Jamie Gray and Maria Hazell, who will talk about the fulfilling and impactful volunteer opportunities with PMI.
By attending this FREE webinar, you’ll walk away with the following outcomes:
- The importance of volunteers to PMI and the project management profession
- The ability to identify the various volunteer opportunities that PMI has to offer
- How to search for and apply to available global PMI opportunities
Please join us for an informal and interactive discussion focused on the Benefits of Volunteering at PMI!

Dear Kimberly
I already was volunteer 3 times, apparently I never took any benefits from the action, not even in terms of career growth, networking etc..
I start to reach the conclusion (which can be wrong) that it is difficult to be chosen as a volunteer for activities that really make us grow, connect with other people and improve our skills, since volunteers are selected by experience and as such they are recurrently always the same in different positions.
I like to give, I don't care about it, but I think there should be growth opportunities for the less reputable, bet on the potential and the democratization of opportunities.

Most committed volunteers are those highly qualified and knowledgeable retired project management practitioners whose genuine interest is improve project management professional practices through past experiences. Unfortunately, this is not a major criteria of the decision makers for PMI Global opportunities.
