VOLUNTEER
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering at a Makerspace isn’t just about giving your time — it’s about fueling creativity, sharing knowledge, and being part of something bigger than yourself. Whether you’re a tech wizard, an artist, a hobbyist, or just someone who loves helping others learn, your skills can help spark innovation and empower the community.
Share What You Know
Whether you’re skilled in 3D printing, woodworking, electronics, sewing, or coding — your expertise can help others unlock their potential. Volunteers play a key role in teaching, mentoring, and guiding curious minds.
Learn Something New
No matter your background, there’s always something new to explore. Volunteering puts you alongside other passionate makers and creators — you’ll constantly be learning from others and expanding your own toolkit.
Build Community
Makerspaces thrive on collaboration. When you volunteer, you become part of a welcoming, inclusive community built around curiosity, creativity, and kindness. You’ll make friends, meet fellow creators, and help grow a space that’s open to all.
Boost Your Skills and Resume
Volunteering shows initiative, leadership, and a willingness to learn, all great qualities for job seekers or those looking to level up their careers. You can gain hands-on experience with tools and tech, improve your communication skills, and develop as an educator.
Make a Real Impact
Your time and talents can change lives. Makerspaces often work with students, entrepreneurs, underserved communities, and creatives of all kinds. Your help can make someone’s first project, or even their first invention possible.
Volunteer Discounts Available
Active volunteers may qualify for reduced membership rates as a thank-you for their time and commitment.
Join us in making, learning, and sharing. Volunteering is flexible, rewarding, and a great way to stay inspired. Together, we can build more than just projects — we can build a community of makers.

What ever way you want to help, we'd love to hear from you. We hold our general meeting on the second Tuesday of the month, come in and talk to us about what you're thinking. Or send us an email at LosAlamosMakersInfo@gmail.com
We are an entirely volunteer organization, we can not succeed with out the help from people like you. You don't have to be a master craftsmen to volunteer at Los Alamos Makers.
Thank You to Our Incredible Volunteers!
At Los Alamos Makers, we believe that community is at the heart of everything we do—and our volunteers are the heartbeat that keeps us going. From mentoring new makers to maintaining our tools, organizing events, keeping the space running smoothly, and everything in between, your time, talent, and passion make all the difference.
We see the hours you put in, the skills you share, and the extra care you bring to every task. Your generosity doesn’t just help us operate, it helps us grow, inspire, and create a welcoming space for everyone who walks through our doors.
Whether you're helping someone solder for the first time, organizing our shelves (again!), or simply showing up with a smile, please know that you are deeply appreciated. Your efforts empower innovation, learning, and creativity across our community.
