HOW CAN I JOIN SF YMF?
Any civil engineer who is 35 or younger, or just young in spirit, is automatically a YMF member and can attend our events. We do not check your ASCE membership status. However, we encourage everyone to maintain an active membership, as a portion of your membership fee trickles down to us and supports our events.
HOW CAN I BECOME A SF YMF OFFICER?
Any registered ASCE member can run for a SF YMF officer position. If you are interested in being part of the officer board, please look out for information about elections towards the end of summer via our Newsletter or Facebook page.
DOES SF YMF OFFER PE REVIEW COURSES?
SF YMF is partnering with Pathceed to provide a review course for the breadth portion of the NCEES PE Civil Exam.
HOW CAN YMF HELP LOCAL ASCE STUDENT CHAPTERS?
Most SF YMF members were once members of ASCE student chapters, so we are very eager to help the student chapters in the Bay Area. In the past, we hosted resume workshops, presented at general meetings, and led technical tours. If you want SF YMF to help your student chapter, please shoot us an email (sf.asce.ymf@gmail.com).
