In particular, we are looking for people to beef up our strength in the Membership Division and University Branch Coordinator.

Volunteers in other positions are also more than welcome.

If you are keen to play a more active role with us, get to know more people and have fun in the process, please spend a few minutes to fill in the form at the end of this post and we’ll be in touch.

1) University Branch Coordinator

Mensa Singapore is looking for an energetic active young Mensan for the role of University-branches coordinator. The role’s main responsibility is to oversee Mensa Singapore student branches (NTU, NUS, SMU) activities and operations, provide guidance and advice to them and most importantly have fun organizing activities.

The role acts also as a bridge between Mensa Singapore Management Committee and the student branches, providing feedbacks. Experience/background with the local universities is not a prerequisite. We welcome anyone with strong communications and people management skills to apply.

2) Assistant Directors, Membership Division

We are looking for 3 Mensans who likes to interact with other Mensans to join the Membership Division as its Assistant Directors. The roles main responsibilities are to oversee the operations of the monthly gatherings, organise and plan monthly and quarterly events, manage the Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and most importantly develop plans and policies to retain members in the society.

There are no specific pre-requisites for the roles other than being committed, reliable, and responsible. Commitment is expected to be for a term of at least 1 year.

But for now, let’s at least enjoy our first few steps towards a new online presence for Mensa Singapore.
