Volunteering
Mentoring, teaching, companion calling and skilled professional help - remote and in person.
Individuals and corporate teams
Best for
- Mentoring a student or a woman entering tech
- Weekly companion calling
- Professional skills - legal, design, audit, translation
The volunteering that helps most is regular and boring: the same mentor for a year, the same weekly call to the same person, a bridge class taught every week for a term. One-off group days are welcome but they are for you more than for us, and we will say so.
Skilled volunteering is the highest-value form. An accessibility audit, a translation, a curriculum review or a year of mentoring is worth far more to us than its cost.

There is no payment form on this website. Every route ends in a conversation with a person, so nothing is collected from anyone who has not first seen our accounts and had their questions answered. Write to [email protected].
