APA depends on volunteers like you to advance the organization's mission and goals and bring your perspective to the table.
Volunteering with APA can include elected leadership positions, appointed committee opportunities, APA's Planner's Advocacy Network, Foresight Communities, and much more. Volunteer opportunities are also available at the Chapter and Division level. Connect with your Chapter or Division to learn more about these opportunities.
