CSTA Volunteer Application

CSTA is proud to be an organization that thrives on volunteer support. Help give back and shape the future of CSTA by volunteering for one or more of the following:

Committees: While every committee is a little different, committee members participate in one virtual meeting a month and approximately 2 hours of additional work outside of those meetings, for a total of 2-5 hours per month . Committee terms are one or two years . Most committees will select members in the fall, but others (e.g., conference committee) have a different timeline.
Reviewers: We rely on many volunteers to review both conference session proposals and awards applications . This is a shorter, one-time commitment of 2-3 hours at several points throughout the year.
CSTA Ambassador: Help welcome new members to the CSTA community. Ambassadors will email and welcome new members and invite them to a 30-minute orientation call. The goal is to provide an immediate connection and share how they can get involved with the organization. This requires less than one hour per month for each member to whom you are matched.
CSTA's Voice Author : Write an original, 500- to 1,500-word post to share with the CSTA community. We welcome submissions on any topics relevant to K-12 CS teachers and especially love posts written directly by teachers. See submission guidelines . This is a short, one-time commitment.
