VOLUNTEERING
PLAY YOUR PART
Shape the future of the investment profession. Contribute your expertise, expand your network and make a lasting impact on the CFA UK community.
CURRENT OPPORTUNITIESWHY VOLUNTEER?
CFA UK is a member-led organisation. Volunteers play a vital role in delivering thought leadership, professional learning, member engagement, conferences, events, research and strategic initiatives.
Whether you can contribute a few hours a year or take on a leadership role, volunteering offers an opportunity to help shape the future of the profession while developing your own skills and network.
WHY VOLUNTEERS MATTER
Volunteers are the link between CFA UK and its members. They’re the voice of the community, and their expertise and contacts help us shape the investment industry. But what makes our volunteers so special to us is the small things. Whether you talk to a new member at an event or help someone get a new job, these small things add up to one big impact.
WHY BECOME A VOLUNTEER?
When you become a volunteer, you grow your talent while helping others grow theirs. Our volunteers are team players, developing their communication skills and building their industry contacts. You’ll also give back your knowledge to our community, sharing your successes so others succeed as well. You won’t just shape your career – you'll shape our society and the industry, too.
