Getting Involved
All our members our awesome. Making projects is what we're all about. Some members want to get more involved in the running of HackRVA, thus rising to the challenge of VOLUNTEER. Whether you're 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.
Sign Up for a Weekly Volunteer Duty One of the best ways to get volunteer is to sign-up for one our weekly roles 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 for the week. These are the jobs that keep the space running nice and smooth.
- Sign up on the Volunteer Sign up sheet
