LED BY VOLUNTEERS

Our society is shaped by volunteers – from Communities and working groups to our Board. Volunteers collaborate with CFA UK’s staffed office in almost everything, meaning all of us work to make what we do more impactful for our members and the wider industry.   

By becoming a volunteer, you can shape CFA UK in your own way with the support of our staffed office. Make your impact by joining one of our committees or working groups, or get involved in mentoring to inspire others.

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.

VOLUNTEERING BENEFITS

Our volunteers don’t “give up” their time – they gain time to thrive. Whether you have an hour a week spare or several days a month, we have roles and opportunities for everyone.  

When you volunteer, you can: 

  • Expand your professional network  
  • Give back to the investment community  
  • Share your knowledge on topic you are passionate about  
  • Grow your skills and knowledge outside of your day-to-day role  
  • Access personal development training 

VOLUNTEERING THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Volunteering is something anyone can do, no matter what time you have. How much time you spend volunteering is entirely up to you. 

You can find the right opportunity on CFA UK Connect, and you can keep up to date with new opportunities via our newsletter. And, to shape our community and the investment profession, make your impact by joining one of our committees.
