Volunteer Your Time

The BCSEA is a grassroots organization, largely powered by the efforts of its incredible volunteers. We are always looking for enthusiastic people to help with our various initiatives and programs - or even start new ones. If you are interested in volunteering with the BCSEA, write to us and let us know how you'd like to help.

Also, if you live in one of our BCSEA chapter regions, we could certainly benefit from your time and energy:

Please contact your local chapter and tell them you're interested in volunteering. Thank you!
