'''Opportunities''': Volunteers with a range of experience and expertise will be recruited to work on project teams, serve on program committees and provide mentorship to university student project teams.
== How does a community apply to start a project? ==
The application must come from a community group or a nonprofit organization that represents a community. The application includes information about the program eligibility requirements and the criteria against which the application will be judged. After you have completed the application, submit it to cecprojects@ewb-usa.org. If you have questions about how to complete the application, address your questions to cecinfo@ewb-usa.org.
The review of the application will take four to six weeks. If the application is approved, the CEC will identify a section of AWWA or ASCE or a chapter of EWB-USA that is best suited to work on the project. Next, the CEC will connect the community with the volunteer engineers that will be working on the project. If the project is declined, the review committee will detail the reasons that the project is not appropriate as a CEC project.
Example projects that the CEC might work on include providing a model sanitation solution to isolated homes in a tribal community or assisting a community where a public building is flooded on a regular basis.
