Volunteer Opportunities

The success of the Summer Learning Program depends on our volunteers.

We welcome anyone in the entertainment technology industry or adjacent, at any stage in their career, to volunteer with our SLP.

There are opportunities of various time commitments, organized below from least to most time.

Apply for any/all of these opportunities here!

Guest Mentor

Time commitment: ~1-3 hrs, between June-August 

Role: Fill in for a learner's regular mentor on a week they are not available to meet. Help introduce them to other areas of the entertainment technology industry. We often receive a lot of volunteers for guest mentoring so there is no guarantee you'd be matched with a learner during the program.

Speaker

Time commitment: ~1 hr + any prep time needed, one time between June-August 

Role: Present on a topic or come as part of a moderated panel. Answer questions from our learners and inspire them!

Application Reviewer

Time commitment: ~3 hours in late April

Role: Help us read through (anonymized) applications. The only real requirements for this role is interest in finding the best learners for the program by filling out a google form with your impressions!

Mentor

Time commitment: ~10 hours from June-August 

Role: Get paired 1-on-1 with one of this year's Learners. Meet weekly for 30 minute touchbases on a schedule that works for you and your learner. Further details on this role available here.

Team Lead

Time commitment: ~15 hours from May-August 

Role: Get paired with ~5 Learners in a Small Group Team. Meet every other week with your team Learners to check in on progress and help your Learners set and meet their goals. Further details on this role available here.
