- Volunteer for our Making The Future program (contact Bill Shaw)
- Help fundraise. Ever wrote a grant application before? (contact Tracey Birch)
- Sort and tear down donated items
- Update the wiki (See the Style Guides for example pages - copy & paste from the edit box to save yourself some typing!)
If every member volunteered just 4-6 hours per month, our space would be even more awesome than it is now!
