Volunteering Opportunities

The RACI exists through the magnificent support of our volunteers. We have over 70 active committees spread over the Branches, Divisions, Groups and Board committees that are manned and run purely by volunteer members. And we'd love you to be involved.

The RACI operates with a small administrative staff to assist our army of volunteers deliver events and services to their 4000+ fellow members. We've been doing this for over 100 years and with our members help aim to do it for the next 100.

Why volunteer?

For our younger members just starting out on their career journey, it's an opportunity to gain experience, knowledge and networks whilst giving back to the chemical sciences community. 

For our longer serving members, volunteering is an avenue for those who wish to give something back to their community and to society in general. It is a great way to maintain contact with their networks and provides the opportunity to keep actively doing the things that have provided enjoyment and satisfaction throughout their career. 

Current Volunteering Opportunities

All Divisions and Branches have opportunities for RACI members of all levels to get involved with the organisation and running of events, committees etc. Most Division and Branch committees seek nominations for members at their AGMs which generally run from August to November each year. Events run throughout the year and often require volunteers to help make these a success.

If you want to be involved contact your Branch or preferred Division. If you aren't sure who to contact in each Branch or Division email National Office and we will point you in the right direction.
