Volunteer Opportunities 

APC is seeking member volunteers to serve in several key volunteer positions in order to advance the mission of the association.  These volunteer positions are vital to the success of APC and can also lead to future leadership positions within the organization. Volunteer positions within APC offer members the opportunity to network, learn, and grow within their profession and their professional association. APC is actively looking for members to serve on the Education Committee, Certification Commission, Special Interest Groups, State Leaders, and more.  Visit the Volunteer Leadership Opportunities page on the APC website for more information or email info@professionalchaplains.org.
