CFA Institute Volunteer Community

CFA Institute Community

The CFA Institute Community provides volunteer opportunities that enable you to engage and network with your peers in the investment industry.




Our global network of volunteers makes pursuing our mission possible

CFA Institute is the global, not-for-profit organization that sets the standard for professional excellence and credentials. We aim to create an environment where investors’ interests come first, markets function at their best, and economies grow. Our global network of volunteers makes pursuing our mission possible.

Local Opportunities

Volunteer opportunities serve not only the global community, but they can also help in your local area. The CFA Society® network provides a wide range of educational, networking, and career development opportunities. Volunteering with your local society is a great way to become an engaged member of CFA Institute.

Opportunities can range from one-time tasks to committee involvement or society board leadership roles. Volunteer roles differ among societies, so the first step is to contact your society and ask how you can get involved!
