Volunteers are the lifeblood of SAQA. This is very much a hands-on, member-driven organization. SAQA both appreciates and depends on each volunteer to be able to offer the breadth and depth of programming available.
We have lots of volunteer opportunities. Some examples include:
- Serving on a SAQA Committee
- Participating in Regional Activities
- Working at the SAQA Booth at an event near you
- Developing content for our communication channels
If you are interested in volunteering for SAQA (or need a volunteer for your SAQA event or committee), please email volunteer@saqa.com.
