The Community Distributed Team

At EWB, we do mission-driven work that reaches vast corners of Canadian campuses - and beyond. The Community DT keeps us all connected!

The Community Distributed Team (DT) is a national volunteer committee that builds on and enhances the impact made by EWB’s Community. Our growing community network of student chapters, professional chapters and professional individuals are all looking to leverage technological innovation to address urgent and important global challenges, in Canada and beyond.

 

Supported by EWB Canada’s Community Team staff, the DT works alongside their member portfolio to enhance their impact and engagement. Structured to provide region-specific check-ins and support, the Team’s members meet centrally to align their message and goals before implementing them within the community network.


This year the Community DT will grow to amplify impact within EWB Professional and Academic Chapters, as well as engage with professional engineers and technologists whose interests align with EWB’s mission and goals. Learn more about the structure, roles and responsibilities of the team here. We are actively recruiting DT members for vacant positions - see our current openings below!
