You may become a member of the WCF in one of two ways:

• You may become a Trustee by making a one-year commitment to be an active WCF member responsible for chairing a committee or taking on a major role as part of a committee
• You may become a Friend of the Foundation who participates at a lower level of commitment by helping at events, procuring donations, etc. on an “as available” basis.

Please note that becoming a Friend of the Foundation is a great way to get involved and “learn the ropes” before making the Trustee commitment! Computer expertise is not a prerequisite for membership, since most of the WCF’s activities are focused on fundraising.
