PEAK Southeast offers several flexible ways for members to contribute their time, expertise, and connections. Whether you prefer a one-time independent project or a collaborative planning role, these volunteer opportunities help strengthen communications, programs, and membership across the region.

  • Communications
    • Newsletter Contributor: Share a guest article, resource, or update for Front Porch News, PEAK Southeast’s quarterly newsletter. This is a great fit for volunteers seeking independent work that can be completed as a one-time contribution or on a recurring basis.
  • Programs
    • Webinar Planning: Bring forward a timely topic, your expertise, or a recommended speaker, and collaborate with PEAK Southeast and PEAK to host a webinar for peers across the network. This opportunity involves collaborative planning over approximately 10–12+ weeks.
    • In-Person Event Planning: Help plan a local gathering for PEAK Southeast members and prospective members, such as a coffee meet-up, happy hour, or lunch program. Volunteers help identify the location and date, support sponsorship outreach if needed, and coordinate with PEAK on registration and invitations during a 10–12 week planning process.
    • Recommend a speaker or resource: Suggest a speaker, tool, article, or other resource that would benefit PEAK Southeast members. This low-lift option can be as simple as sending one email, and volunteers may participate independently or collaborate with the programs team.
  • Membership
    • Recruiting: Share your enthusiasm for PEAK and PEAK Southeast with colleagues and encourage them to join both the national network and the regional chapter. This role can happen anytime, anywhere, through everyday conversations and connections.
