Share Your Expertise. Explore New and Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer opportunities are now more flexible and respect your busy time and schedule. From a year-long commitment to an hour of your time, ISACA projects enable you to get involved as your schedule permits.
A volunteer does not need to be a member or hold a certification; however, they should then have proven experience in support of the subject matter they are reviewing. Any volunteer is required to sign a Participation Agreement and submit it to the ISACA Legal Department.
Take a look at what is currently open and get involved today!
All of ISACA HQ’s volunteer opportunities are posted on the volunteer portal found here: http://www.isaca.org/About-ISACA/Volunteering/Pages/Volunteer-Opportunities.aspx. There is also a “Volunteer Now” link that takes users to a form to fill out. Anyone who completes this form is entered into the volunteer database for project managers to refer to for future projects.
For additional information:
Please contact Audra Woods, SC Midlands ISACA Research Director at Research@scisaca.org
Get Local!
Volunteer opportunities are not only at the International level, your local chapter needs volunteers too! Volunteering at your local chapter is a great way to become an active member of ISACA.
Opportunities can range from one-time tasks or committee involvement, to chapter board leadership roles, including serving as chapter president. Contact your chapter (president@scisaca.org) and ask how you can get involved!

New Robotics Competitions for Grades 3-12!
WHAT IS RARC?
IT-oLogy is proud to bring the Regional Autonomous Robotics Circuit (RARC) to South Carolina. RARC is a series of cyber and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) robotics competitions that include liberal arts lessons. The competitions build upon one another and allow students in grades 3-12 to showcase their skills by competing against other students in their division (elementary school, middle school, and high school).
DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ROBOTICS TO PARTCIPATE?
The series is perfect for robotics veterans as well as those new to the technology. For “newbies”, IT-oLogy has scheduled Robotics Fundamentals trainings for students and team leaders. You can learn more by clicking here.
WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE COMPETITIONS?
The three competitions will take place at Spirit Communications Park in Columbia, SC on Saturday, November 19, February 18, and April 29.
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
Start a team! Teams are made up of 3-6 students within the same division. The RARC website gives you the information to get started!
Please help us spread the word about RARC. Please forward this email to teachers or others who may be interested in starting a team or who may want to volunteer at one of the three competitions. The RARC robotics competition registration site is up and available for team registrations.
