Volunteer opportunities
Become A Volunteer Professor
The Institute seeks volunteer professors who would like deliver online education experiences in the areas of their respective expertise.
Courses that are always in demand include SDGs, communications, IR, PR, public diplomacy; but we are open to all ideas that help people develop skills to support them in their professional development.
The hope is that many professors, including retired professors, will seize this best volunteering opportunity by teaching one or more course (s).
