5 Reasons To Consider Volunteering for Alpha Phi Alpha Phi is a volunteer-driven membership organization, and we would be nothing without our team of loyal volunteers. Our success relies upon the effectiveness and committment of our volunteers who contribute their time, skillsets and resources to the Fraternity. It is through their dedication that we succeed. While volunteering for Alpha Phi immensely benefits our Fraternity and membership of over 280,000 women, it’s also advantageous for our volunteers. Serving as a volunteer for Alpha Phi empowers alumnae to take advantage of incredible opportunities — both in person and virtually — for skill-building and leadership development, including our annual Leadership Conference and biennial Convention.
Here are the top five ways volunteering benefits our alumnae:
1. Gain and Flex Transferable Skills: With a variety of roles to choose from, volunteering with Alpha Phi exposes members to vast array of skills, beneficial to both personal and professional life, including event planning, team management, public speaking, social media and branding, time management, finance, recruiting and more. Hone your own skills while giving back to the Fraternity! 2. Build Your Network: Volunteer opportunities are a terrific way to build a solid network of like-minded individuals, particularly within Alpha Phi. If you’re looking to work with a strong group of career-minded women to learn from, share ideas with, problem solve or collaborate with, volunteering with Alpha Phi is the perfect way to do just that. 3. Create Memorable Experiences for Our Membership: Alpha Phi’s volunteers are rooted in creating lifelong memories for our members, especially our collegiate members. Through volunteering with our organization, volunteers have the unique opportunity to contribute their specific skills and attributes to new and established Fraternity projects, all while shaping our collegians and setting them up for success. 4. Exposure to Industry Trends: Alpha Phi leans on its volunteers for their industry knowledge, and they are often exposed to news, updates and changes occurring within their own professions because of the volunteer work they’re doing and connections they’re making through the Fraternity. This helps them stay ahead of trends and bridge similarities between their professional world and their volunteer world. 5. Development of Leadership Skills: Alpha Phi’s volunteers are regularly exposed to other members’ and leaders’ leadership styles, empowering them to grow as leaders themselves and gain practical experience working with others to innovate, strategize and problem solve.
