There are many ways to help
We need technical instructors, but we also need hosts, mentors, event volunteers, photographers, accessibility support, and people who can help first-time attendees find their way around.
Most helpful right now
We especially value volunteers who can support onboarding, workshop flow, accessibility, mentoring, and community outreach.
Beginner-friendly support
People who can welcome first-time attendees, explain logistics, and make a new learner feel comfortable are invaluable.
Technical and practical help
We can also use people who can support labs, speak on technical topics, or help facilitate hands-on sessions.
Community reach
If you know student groups, professional networks, or local communities we should connect with, that helps as much as any single volunteer role.
