DFW’s most critical volunteer need is to fill the leadership positions of our National Leadership Plan. DFW has grown to over 170 chapters since January 2006. With an aggressive growth plan of 1500 chapters and $2.0M in giving by 2012, our organization requires an infrastructure to better support chapter leaders and members, our most valuable asset. The plan will provide a critical path to implement fundraising, public relations initiatives, new chapter development and innovative education for our membership. Click here to find out more.

Many other volunteer opportunities exist, too - are you a website developer, grant writer, connected with potential corporate sponsors for fundraising? Other ideas or skills you’d like to share? Let us know – there’s always an opportunity to make a difference!

We hope you find that volunteering for DFW will help you reach a deeper commitment of living with passion and meaning.
