Volunteer Hub

Welcome to the Volunteer Hub

If you would like to get more involved in the Maker Space but you’re not sure how, browse the table below, pick something and jump in!

There are three types of opportunity, Role, Project and Job. A job should be something that can be completed on a single visit to the Maker Space. A project may require a greater commitment and a role is an ongoing responsibility like a tech or an inductor.

A job or project may have three supervision levels:

  • No Supervision
  • Loose Supervision / co-ordination required
  • High Supervision - need to work closely with the job contact.

A job may also have three skill levels:

  • No Skill necessary
  • Skills will be taught
  • Must already have the required skills

Thanks for creating this page. @lathetechs I can take the sharpening gouges job… I’ve seen videos and tried once. If you are happy with my poor experience I’m available tomorrow (24/01)

Got the double stopper sign! I’ll take it to the space today.

Hello @directors - It’s unclear how I try to pickup a task from the Volunteer Hub but I will leave a comment here that I’m interested in helping with the following:

The wood on the windows of Arch 1 needs resealing

Who can I talk to?
