Dare rise to the challenge of VOLUNTEER! Whether you're a ball of white hot energy, inspired by the noble idea of makerspaces, or just plain crazy, we're glad to have you. Below are some ways to get involved.

Volunteering at HackRVA

Sign Up for a Week of Volunteer Duty

The best, and often most timely, way to start volunteering is to sign-up for a week's duty on the volunteer spreadsheet.

These are the jobs that need constant attention. Whether it's greeting potential new members on Thursday Night Open Houses, taking out the trash, or being a Steward of the FabLab or TechLab. These are the jobs that keep the space running nice and smooth as well as offer opportunity for volunteers to contribute to the improvement of HackRVA overall.


Other Sweet Volunteer Activities

  • Lead a workshop (contact us and we'll set you up with meetup and assist with lesson plans if needed)
  • Start a new event (again, contact us, and we'll give you the social media tools to advertise)
  • Improve the Wiki (just create an account, and start adding useful info)
  • Post a project to the maker blog (anyone at hackrva can be a blogger, just ask and we'll give you access)
  • Research and recommend a purchase (add them to our acquisitions spreadsheet (link needed))
  • Socialize with new folks during open house (Thursday nights)
  • Attend monthly business/board meetings and help figure out the way forward at HackRVA (see the calender for dates)
