How to Get Involved
We know volunteering is a two-way fit. There are two easy ways to take the next step:
👉 Option 1: Come Visit Us
If you’d like to see the makerspace, meet our team, and talk through where you might fit, we encourage you to visit during Open Hours or reach out to schedule a time to connect in person.
👉 Option 2: Submit Your Information
If you’re ready to move forward, you can submit your information to set up an interview and visit. We’ll follow up to talk through interests, availability, and next steps.
Time Commitment & Flexibility
Volunteer involvement can range from:
- 3–15 hours per week, or
- Project-based or event-based, depending on the role
We work with volunteers to find a level of involvement that fits their schedule.
Background Check Requirement
To help maintain a safe, welcoming, and trusted environment, all volunteer roles at Monumental Impact require a background check.
As a nonprofit organization, volunteers age 21 and over are asked to cover the cost of their background check. Monumental Impact coordinates the process and provides instructions before anything is finalized.
