Student Chapters

Launching Your Career in the Water Quality Field

*Students learn about the technical aspects of water protection through hands-on activities at the WEF Community Service Project.*

WEF’s Student Chapters are professional organizations for students with an interest in the environment or becoming more active in the water industry. Student Chapters provide an avenue for the exchange of information and ideas between students, academics and members of the Water Environment Federation.

Whether you are looking to start your own student chapter, or are an active chapter looking for new activities, we encourage you to explore the resources on this page.
