Volunteer

WANNA GET INVOLVED? We're always looking for new blood. If you want to be a bigger part of your Houston creative community and give something back, then we have the perfect opportunity for you. Not a bad way to spend a few hours a month.

PERKS OF VOLUNTEERING

1. Save some dough. If you volunteer to help out at an event, you get in to that event FREE. We'll put you to work (no hard-hat or waiver required, don't worry) but we promise to make it worth your while. This includes after-parties. Now you have no excuse to skip an event you really want to go to.

2. VIP access. Volunteers get a "backstage pass" - so to speak. You'll get opportunities to speak one-on-one with our visiting speakers, board members, workshop hosts, etc.

3. Foot in the door. If you've always thought an AIGA chapter board position sounded like a pretty cool gig (and it is, trust us), then volunteering is the best way to get started. We often recruit from our volunteer pool.

4. Grow that friends list. Looking to meet new friends and make solid contacts in Houston's ever-expanding creative community? Look no further than AIGA volunteering. Interested? Contact April Guzik at president@houston.aiga.org for more information TODAY!
