We’re a growing organization and we’re always looking for help! Volunteers are eligible for a partial or full discount on their PIP Membership fees upon completion of a negotiated amount of hours.

We are very happy to accommodate folks with disabilities – if you would like to help out but have concerns about your ability to complete the tasks, please get in touch anyway! We can certainly work something out.

Here are some of the roles that we need filled:

Join our Podcast Accessibility Team – help people with disabilities access podcasts and create their own as part of this group.

Requirements:

  • intermediate-advanced computer skills
  • basic computer troubleshooting skills
  • a laptop you are willing to bring each week
  • patience

You should have a basic understanding of what a podcast is and where to download them.

Event Helper

We run a bunch of workshops and events, and it’s always nice having an extra pair of hands around to make those run smoother.

As an event helper, you’ll get a chance to attend workshops for free, get a chance to work with attendees to help them with anything they’re struggling with, and learn how to run events on your own.

Time commitment is 2-4 hours once every two months.
