We love volunteers! Use your skills (whatever they are!) to give back to the Philadelphia community and support internet access for all. In-person and remote volunteer opportunities are available — we welcome you to get involved in whatever capacity makes sense for you.
If you want to support our work but aren’t able to volunteer at the moment, check out our Support page for other ways to help.
We formed as a grassroots, volunteer-led coalition, and our dedicated team of staff regularly onboard new volunteers from the Philly area to help build and sustain our network. We invite you to join and participate in our organization!
If you’re interested in getting involved, please fill out our Volunteer Sign-Up Form.
Volunteer for technical work with PCW, which includes installing equipment in homes and on rooftops throughout Philadelphia, attending in-person trainings in Norris Square, network configuring, mapping and data visualization, and web development.
Many of us are in the process of learning these skills, so if these skills are new to you, you’ll be trained in a collaborative environment. If you’re experienced, we welcome your expertise and training support.
Volunteer to do outreach work with PCW, which includes participating in community events, canvassing and flyering, marketing and graphic design, and more. If you are a Spanish speaker, we welcome your support with translations and community engagement.
Volunteers who participate in PCW’s outreach are also invited to join installations, which are a great opportunity to learn more about PCW’s work, engage with community members who open their homes and spaces to us, and conduct outreach post-install.
See our calendar to get an idea of upcoming in-person volunteer events and opportunities! Most of our installs are coordinated on Thursdays or Fridays, and we aim to host Volunteer Saturday Sessions 1-2 times per month.
