All levels of experience welcome. No special equipment required. You just need an internet connection, a smartphone or tablet, and the desire to gain new film skills.

Note: We’re continuing our program virtually for this summer to prioritize the health and safety of our teen filmmakers, but we look forward to building film skills this summer and then working with many of our participants in person starting fall 2021.

Pride is more than just a month of celebrations and recognition of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a protest and a fight for equality. It’s collaboration and support across other marginalized communities. It’s for our future and safety. This Pride season, we continue our mission to create safe and inclusive schools for our LGBTQ+ youth, and we encourage them to not just sparkle . . . but to GLSEN with Pride.

Volunteer on a Project

First of all, everyone who contributes to a Zooniverse project is a volunteer! We have a wonderful, global community who help us do what we do. The main ways of volunteering with us are helping us with classifications on data, being a beta tester on projects we've yet to launch, and being a moderator for a project. For more information about any of these roles, just read below.

There is no minimum time requirement needed; do as much or as little as you'd like. To get started as a classifications volunteer, just to go to the Projects page, have a look through, find one you like the look of, and get stuck in!

The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide. Online volunteering allows organizations and volunteers to team up to address sustainable development challenges – anywhere in the world, from any device. Online volunteering is fast, easy – and most of all, effective. When skilled, passionate individuals join forces online with great organizations working toward sustainable development goals, everyone wins.
