Volunteer Opportunities
Get involved with ASDE

Updated 02/13/24

ASDE is currently working on a variety of projects to build a bigger presence in the SDE community through community engagements, tangible resources and a future opportunity to join us at an in-person conference in 2025! We are looking for volunteers to support our growing team. Please also take a look at our values and make sure they align well for you before filling out our volunteer form.

Volunteer Form

Our needs at present are as follows, and we would love to know if you would be interested in joining us. The minimum we ask is that all volunteers join our Slack workspace and participate in monthly working group meetings.

Volunteer needs and ways you can support ASDE on the regular:

  • Become a Board Member – ASDE Board Members work behind the scenes to manage our website, social media presence, coordinate advocacy projects, and help bring a variety of voices and experiences of those in the Self-Directed Education movement, globally. We are seeking global representation on our Board to commit to one meeting monthly, and sometimes additional meetings for specialized working groups on various projects and efforts, if they choose. Monthly meetings are scheduled based on team availability.
  • Join the Tipping Points Magazine Team (especially looking for youth volunteers) – We are looking for people who are excited to join our team, even if grammar and writing skills aren’t your strengths. We ask volunteers to join monthly team meetings. Some other volunteer opportunities could include discussing article topic ideas, content creation, editing/proofreading, contacting possible contributors, and more.
  • Record Readings for Substack (reading scripts out loud to build in audio accessibility)
  • Online Space Facilitators and Notetakers for Events
  • Join the Marketing Team – Monthly Zoom meetings, Graphic design, Social media
