Volunteer Roles

Project Lead
Take on a Leadership role on a project at GiveCamp. This involves partnering with the non-profit prior to the event to talk about the project, make a plan and prepare for the weekend activities. You will get to pitch the project at Kickoff and rally the troops to get the job done throughout the weekend. This role does require you to put in time before the weekend to prepare and also be available during the whole weekend to keep the project moving forward.

Team Member
As a member of the team, you will select your project after hearing from all the non-profits at the kickoff and get to work based on the direction given by your project lead. Being a team member may mean you need to write code, create content, design user interface, develop process maps, or test working software before it gets deployed to production. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved. For team members, your time commitment is only for the weekend.
