2023 CSTA Volunteer Application

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 two years with the exception of the Professional Development committee, which is a three year commitment. Most committees will select members in the fall, but others (e.g., conference committee) have a different timeline.
- Conference, Awards, and Equity Fellowship Reviewers: We rely on many volunteers to review conference session proposals, equity fellowship applications, and awards applications. This is a shorter, one-time commitment of 2-3 hours at several points throughout the year.
- 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.
