Getting to work, making an impact. 💪
Chayn operates with a global collective of volunteers, many of whom are survivors. We are always growing and looking for new volunteers to join our team! Our volunteers are our greatest strength - they come up with ideas for projects, co-lead our governance, and contribute to our resources to make sure that they are survivor-centred and encompass diverse perspectives from around the world. Volunteers are core to our organisation, our strategy, and our success. Volunteering at Chayn is completely remote, flexible, and we welcome individuals from anywhere in the world.
Become a CHAYN-GEMAKER! ⭐ ACTIVELY ENROLLING FOR 2024-2025.
We are always innovating on our volunteer programs! From software engineering programs, to research, advocacy, content, and more!
Volunteers begin with an application and induction call to ensure alignment, followed by an invitation. Generally, we ask a commitment of 6–16 hours per month, depending goals. We work in 3-month cycles to set priorities, assign project leads, and support volunteers. Communication is mainly asynchronous, supplemented by collaboration calls, workshops, and planning sessions. Volunteers can take breaks as needed, with the option to rejoin or stay connected as part of the community!
Join us today to make an impact, connect with like-minded individuals, and achieve meaningful goals together:
Chayn is proudly open-source and built in public, meaning our source code is freely available to read and contribute to on GitHub!
