Get involved as a volunteer
When you sign up as a volunteer you're in control! Teachers in your region may send you an invitation to an activity, and you get to accept or decline depending on your availability. There's no pressure to give a talk if you're not comfortable or go to a place that is too far away. You choose your preferred regions and activities inside your profile, as well as share a little bit about your job and/or career to peak teachers' interest. All personal information, like your email and phone number, is private and secure! So you don't need to worry about being spammed or inundated with requests or phone calls.
