Thank you for your interest in joining the Glenview Education Foundation! GEF is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that has invested more than $3 million in innovative programs across District 34 since 2001, and none of it would be possible without dedicated people like you.

Board members help decide which programs get funded, plan events like our annual Trivia Night, and help spread the word about what GEF does. It's meaningful work that's also fun! We welcome volunteers with a wide range of skills and availability to get involved.

This application takes about 5 minutes. We look forward to learning more about you!
