Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer with RRC
________________________________________
RRC thrives because of members who share their time, expertise, and ideas. Whether you have a few minutes to contribute, want to support a short-term project, or are interested in future leadership opportunities, there are many ways to get involved.
From micro-volunteer opportunities and event support to committees, state leadership, and national service, every contribution helps strengthen the network and profession.
Micro-Volunteer Opportunities
Not every volunteer opportunity requires a long-term commitment. Micro-volunteering allows members to contribute in quick, meaningful ways that fit into a busy schedule.
As a micro-volunteer, you can:
● Share a testimonial or success story
● Serve as a subject matter expert for a news article or education content
● Contribute ideas for webinars or topics
● Serve as mentor
● Participate in a member survey
National Committees
RRC committees and task forces play an important roles in shaping the future of the organization, from education and member engagement to leadership initiatives and strategic priorities. Serving is an opportunity to share your expertise, expand your network, and help strengthen the RRC community.
Committee appointments follow an annual application and review process with defined timelines each year. Task forces are formed as needed, with calls for volunteers distributed via email.
Submit your application by July 15, 2026

State Leadership
State Network leadership opportunities provide members with a chance to make an impact closer to home while helping strengthen the RRC community at the local and regional level. State Leaders help support member engagement, plan events and educational programs, welcome new members, encourage networking and referrals, and promote the value of the CRS Designation within their markets.
Leadership opportunities vary by State and may include roles related to membership, education, communications, events, finance, and overall State leadership. Serving at the State level is a great way to build relationships, develop leadership experience, and help shape the member experience within your area.
Opportunities and selection processes vary by State Network. Members interested in serving are encouraged to connect with their State Leadership team or email community@crs.com to learn more about available roles and upcoming opportunities.
RRC Representatives on NAR
RRC Representatives on NAR Committees help ensure the voice and perspective of RRC and CRS Designees are represented within the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). NAR committees play an important role in shaping policies, programs, and initiatives that impact the real estate industry and the REALTOR® organization.
Serving on an NAR committee provides members with an opportunity to contribute at the national level, collaborate with industry leaders from across the country, and help influence the future direction of the profession.
NAR’s 2027 Committee Application Process will open in May 2026.
Members interested in serving should complete RRC’s interest survey and must also apply directly through the NAR committee application process.
