Getting Involved

How can I get involved?

We love volunteers. One of the best ways to get volunteer is to sign-up for one our roles on the volunteer spreadsheet. These are the jobs that need constant attention. Whether it's greeting potential new members and visitor on Thursday Night Open Houses, taking out the trash, or being a Steward of the FabLab or TechLab for the week. These are the basic jobs that keep the space running nice and smooth.

• Sign up on the Volunteer Sign up sheet
