The Volunteer Pathway
We believe that new volunteers typically follow a path similar to the following:
- Become aware of Sugar
- Find Sugar
- Try and successfully use Sugar
- Decide that Sugar is "sweet", i.e., valuable for education, interesting, etc.
- Understand that Sugar is a Community Project supported by volunteers
- Have an initial engagement with the Community
- Want to help, or at least, Be There for Sugar
- Become part of a Task/Team/Group or get a mentor
- Successfully complete a task
- Contribute ideas, take more responsibility, provide leadership, help others, etc.
Examples of contributing ideas, taking responsibility, and providing leadership include:
- Edit the wiki
- Test an Activity
- Pilot at a school
- Mentor a student
- Maintain an Activity
- Develop core software
- Create lesson plans and align with standards
- Create training materials and manuals
- Coordinate Sugar presence at conferences or running Sugar Camps
- Write blogs, press releases, or articles about Sugar
- Write grant proposals
