WICE has been a dynamic, all-volunteer organization
for almost 50 years. We take great pride in the professional quality of
our work and in providing a welcoming and satisfying environment for
volunteers. Whether you are trying to develop a marketable skill, keep
your resumé free of gaps, or simply meet new people and have fun in
Paris, WICE's volunteer program has a place for everyone.
We have four general categories of volunteer:
- Board of Directors Members
- Department Heads
- Department Members
- All-purpose Volunteers
Board of Directors Members
Members
of the Board of Directors are elected by the membership each year at an
annual meeting, which is usually held in mid-July. The Board of
Directors is a working board. Each member is expected to make a minimum
commitment of two years, and each position requires 7 - 10 hours a week.
Department Head Volunteers
WICE has six departments: Membership, Programs, Marketing, Human Resources, Information Technology, and Development.
Each
of the six departments requires a leader, or Department Head.
Department Heads are expected to make a minimum commitment of at least
one year, and each position requires 7 - 10 hours a week.
WICE currently has openings for a Marketing Director and a Development Director.
Department Volunteers
Department volunteers work in departments, usually in relatively well-defined jobs.
For
example a department volunteer may work in the marketing department as a
graphics designer, or as a social media manager. Or a department
volunteer may work in the membership department as an analyst. Or a
department volunteer may work in the information technology department
managing some aspect of WICE's IT systems.
Department
volunteers are expected to make a minimum commitment of at least one
year, and they can expect to work 5 - 7 hours a week.
We have a variety of front line volunteer positions open at the moment.
Multi-purpose Volunteers
Multi-purpose volunteers may be called upon to help with the variety of unexpected or irregular situations that arise.
For example, when we have an apéro, we might need someone to help collect tickets at the door. Or when we have a pétanque
game, we might need someone to help keep score. Or when we set up a
stand at an all-day marketing event, we might need someone to man the
table.
