The Community Engagement team scouts out local nonprofits and community organizations in each host city, reaching out to see how fencers can show up and help. Once a connection is made, they dive into the details - figuring out what kind of volunteer project makes the most impact and how we can make it happen.

They also work with USA Fencing to organize fencing demonstrations as part of select projects, coordinating with local clubs to help bring fencing to new audiences.

And when a fencer already has their own volunteer initiative? This role helps support and spotlight those efforts too, turning individual service into shared impact.

It’s a role that takes creativity, communication, and a big-picture mindset - and it’s at the core of what makes DoGood… do good.
