Volunteers
As a leading modern professional body, APM relies on the expertise and commitment of its volunteer community for the development and promotion of project and programme management. This includes the effective delivery of many wide ranging activities for the benefit of individuals, organisations and society including events, publications and product development.
There are a number of regular opportunities to be involved with voluntary work with APM:
APM Branches
The primary role of the APM branches is to provide high quality events that are accessible to all levels of our membership whilst also serving the wider public good. These events offer opportunities to members to network, make connections and learn about the latest developments in project, programme and portfolio management as well as helping them with their Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The branches also play an important role as recruiters of new corporate and individual members along with developing relationships with local corporates and education institutions. A number of voluntary roles are available periodically within branches and prospective volunteers should make contact with their local branch initially to enquire about potential opportunities.
See a list of APM Branches and get in touch.
Specific Interest Groups (SIGs)
The APM SIGs have an important role to play within APM in creating and disseminating new knowledge. They provide a forum where members and their guests can discuss a particular aspect of project, programme and portfolio management that is of current interest. These groups help further the understanding and practice of tools and techniques within the defined area of interest.
A number of voluntary roles are available periodically within the SIGs and prospective volunteers should make contact initially to enquire about potential opportunities.

APM are always looking for good quality written pieces, produced on a voluntary basis for use on our website and other media. We can’t guarantee that any work you produce will be used but we will credit everybody who has contributed to a piece. Writing for APM can be a good way to increase your personal profile in the project management community and can also act as Continuing Professional Development time.
Specific opportunities that are available now are listed below. For further information about the requirements including examples of the type of work that is needed please click here.
