Call for Volunteers

Update: The call for volunteers has closed, but we’re always looking for a few extra hands during the event. If you’re interested in helping out, please email us at us@wordcamp.org, or by using our contact form.

Volunteers are what make WordCamps happen, and there are no special requirements to volunteer. From lead organizers, to speakers, to people lending a hand at the Happiness Desk; WordCamps around the globe only happen because of volunteers.

WordCamp US needs people who have technical and non-technical backgrounds. Newcomers to WordPress and WordCamps are always welcomed. Everybody has different gifts and talents. Maybe you’re interested in helping greet people at the door at registration, emceeing a panel to introduce our speakers, welcoming newcomers at the community table, or one of our many other areas of need. There’s definitely a volunteer role that could use your help.

Let us know that you’d like to jump onboard by completing the application below. If you have a special skill set (such as photography) or have additional needs (such as needing to sit rather than stand) please let us know in the comment section.

We aim to finalize our list of volunteers by the end of July, and to give folks their assignments by the end of August.

We realize you may wish to adjust your volunteering commitment if you’re unable to attend WCUS, or you apply to speak at WCUS and are a selected as a speaker. Regardless, please apply as a volunteer now if you believe you will be attending, and you want to donate your time. We will make final adjustments to your volunteer hours as necessary closer to the event date if your travel plans change, or if you are selected as a speaker.

If you wish to apply as a volunteer photographer, the following equipment is needed based on our event location and situations that will be photographed:
