Although WFEE does not have regular volunteering opportunities, they host many events, such as the Trivia Bee, Authorfest, and the Town Day Road Race. All teens are welcome to help out at these events, but high school students can become a part of the WFEE ambassador program. Ambassadors help plan WFEE events and raise awareness. For more info, sign up for the WFEE newsletter on their website (wfee.org).
