AIGA Philadelphia’s success depends solely on the efforts of our many volunteers. It takes smart, dedicated, creative people like yourself to make moving the design community forward possible. Get involved and meet some amazing people! Levels of contribution can vary based on your time and availability—volunteers are needed for short one-hour tasks for specific events or for an entire season on a committee.
General Volunteers are our biggest support system at AIGA Philadelphia. These individuals get to touch many different parts of the organization as catch all volunteers based on their skills and interests. We have opportunities available in administrative work for planning, setting up, and hosting events. For volunteers that lean more into the creative side of things, we have opportunities to create graphics, write copy, or photograph events. If you have an interest in something more specific, definitely reach out!
