The benefits of volunteering
Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, Forté is inspiring more women to take charge of their careers and reach new levels of success. As a volunteer, you can:
- Network with your peers
- Gain experience and marketable new skills
- Get visibility with our sponsor schools and businesses
Volunteer commitments:
- Dedicated to the mission of Forté — inspiring women business leaders!
- Contribute time — volunteers work between one and four hours per project or event
Volunteer Descriptions:
Forté volunteers are organized into project teams. To volunteer for a particular team, please review the below team descriptions and fill out the volunteer form.
Events: Work with the Event Marketing Coordinator to develop national and local outreach efforts to drive attendance at all Forté events. Work with the Program & Event Coordinator to support pre-event planning and logistics and help with onsite event management (e.g. registration, greeting, etc). Forté events include the Forté Forums in the fall, Corporate Best Practices Summit in the spring, MBA Women's Conference in the summer, and other miscellaneous events throughout the year.
You will be contacted via email with specific project requests based on the information you provide in your volunteer registration form. Because our events are intermittent, you may not receive a request immediately. However, we will request your assistance when there is an upcoming event in your area.
Project timeframe/commitment: Intermittent; majority of work will be done two months prior to event and at the event / two-four hours per event
Marketing: Work on behalf of Forté Foundation as a marketing ambassador to promote the Forté Foundation brand, programs, and events to your personal and professional networks. Through a number of action-oriented marketing tactics (below), you can help share the valuable resources that Forté Foundation has to offer. In addition to performing the below marketing tactics, Forté Foundation will reach out from time-to-time to ask for your help promoting specific messages such as the launch of a new program or event.
Project timeframe/commitment: Each project is done on your own so how much time you spend on a particular project varies.
