Volunteer at MetSoc

MetSoc would not be the strong, internationally known organization without the support, expertise and generosity of our volunteers.  

As a not-for-profit organization, MetSoc of CIM depends on its volunteers to build a safe, inclusive and diverse community in the minerals industry. MetSoc has twelve technical & standing committees- each one is led by and made up of volunteers.  In addition, all our events and conferences are led by members in our field. 

Volunteering is a great way to network with your community, engage with new members and give back to the next generation of engineers.  The volunteer program is a member benefit and allows individuals to sign up for projects based on their interests and availability.
