- You have at least 5 hours of free time per week.

NOT THE TRADITIONAL OPPORTUNITY
We are not looking for the traditional team member. We are looking for initiators, people who can work both independently and with a team, and are not afraid to push the envelope in pursuit of their big ideas. As a member of our team, you’ll quickly see that a position with WED includes all of the benefits that one of those rare extraordinary opportunities should–experiential learning, personal interaction with global cultures, valuable connection-making with high-profile global leaders, and–rarest of all–the opportunity to have a profound, tangible, and GRAND impact on the world, when it needs it the most!
