  • Updated CSTA 2026-27 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 (Responsible AI or Impact) Fellowship Reviewers: We rely on many volunteers to review conference session proposals, Impact Fellowship applications, Responsible AI applications,  awards applications, and K-12 Standards revisions. 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.

  • Revised K-12 Standards Reviewers: 

    • Reviewers will provide detailed feedback at key intervals throughout the revision process. Reviews will take place asynchronously and require approximately 2-3 hours during each of the three review periods. Additionally, they will be consulted as needed to provide their particular expertise.
    • Selected reviewers will have experience teaching, researching, or developing content for K-12 computer science education.
    • Serving as a reviewer will be unpaid, voluntary work. CSTA will acknowledge reviewers in products.
