Volunteer

You can sign up for most volunteer positions by filling out this form.

Note: We currently don't have the capacity to support volunteers and will not be accepting volunteers until further notice. We will be reinstating the volunteer program as soon as we have opportunities available.

As we strive to improve the quality of our events, every contribution, large or small counts. Volunteering with our committee is a great way to get involved with us on a smaller scale. While being a committee member requires you to dedicate at least 8 hours per week to us, becoming a core volunteer is an easier, lower commitment way to be involved in our activities, help us run events and workshops, and get to know the committee members. Volunteering is also a good way to figure out if you'd like to commit more time to WiCS and eventually apply to be a committee member.

We have a range of volunteer positions, each of which will help you to learn about an aspect of our committee. By volunteering to be a photographer, you can learn about how we run events and help with publicizing them. By volunteering to be a technical mentor for our events, you can help teach technical concepts to others. By becoming a systems committee volunteer, you can learn systems administration and static website development from our systems committee.

How volunteering works

You can sign up for most positions by filling out this form. The only exception is volunteering to run your own event (mentioned below), in which case you'll have to email us directly. When you sign up, you will be added to our volunteer mailing list and be notified of future volunteer opportunities by email. Most volunteer opportunities will be assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis. However, if you have volunteered for the same position at least twice in a row, someone else will be given the opportunity so that everyone gets to do something! Every 1-2 weeks, an email will be sent out to the mailing list with upcoming volunteer opportunities. If any of the opportunities interest you, verify that you are free on that day and reply back to the email.

Here are the volunteer positions currently available.
