Volunteering Ideas

Idea 1: fix this page. Maybe merge duplicates, and separate into ongoing and one-off projects.

• Wiki maintenance
  • Link up orphaned pages: https://wiki.allhandsactive.org/index.php?title=Special:LonelyPages&limit=100&offset=0
  • Add wanted pages: https://wiki.allhandsactive.org/Special:WantedPages
  • Add wanted categories: https://wiki.allhandsactive.org/Special:WantedCategories
  • Categorize pages: https://wiki.allhandsactive.org/Special:UncategorizedPages

• Website
  • Help with website issues: https://github.com/allhandsactive/site/issues

• Running Classes

• Update the wiki page for a tool you are familiar with.

• Help move the wiki to new server or platform

• Marketing
  • Interview members about projects and publish to social channels
  • Promote upcoming events on social
  • make sure our listings in directories like Ann Arbor observer are up to date

• Social
  • organize and market a quarterly social hour (via zoom? In a park?). People can share projects with each other.

• Fundraising
  • Find corporate sponsors, keep them updated on what good things their money is doing.

• Community outreach
  • Make sure we don't miss community events where we would fit and connect to the public / prospective members
  • Find other organizations we can partner with for projects (make PPE, 3D print tools or learning aids for physically or developmentally disabled people)
  • Run a repair night with different themes each week (vacuums, phones, etc)

• Social (again)
  • Organize fun projects. E.g. Building a puppet for festifools, running a hackathon
  • Also "weird-/hacked-foods" potlucks at Island Park
  • Fancy outfit tea party on the Diag
  • AHA Flotilla from Argo to Gallup

• Partner with scouting, schools, etc

• Find a way for people to learn how to use new tools
  • laser cutter
  • cnc router
  • vinyl cutter
  • lathe
  • 3D printers
  • vacuum pump / chamber
  • Write manuals, make video tutorials, etc.
