Do you want to help Chayn support more survivors around the world? There are lots of ways to get involved! You can contribute to our open-source code, join our volunteering team, donate, and support us on social media.
Chayn works with a global collective of volunteers, many of whom are survivors. We are always growing and looking for new volunteers to join our team! Our volunteers are our greatest strength - they come up with ideas for projects, co-lead our governance, and contribute to our resources to make sure that they are survivor-centred and encompass diverse perspectives from around the world. Volunteers are core to our organisation, our strategy, and our success.
Volunteering at Chayn is completely remote, and we welcome individuals from anywhere in the world.
There are two ways to contribute to Chayn’s tech:

Chayn is proudly open-source and built in public, meaning our projects are freely available to read, contribute to, and duplicate on GitHub! We build apps entirely in the open, so all development history is visible and updates are live. By building in the open, Chayn supports the open-source ethos of promoting transparency, collaboration, and accessibility. ✨
Contributions to our open-source codebase on GitHub can be made at any time! Simply check our GitHub for open issues to see what kind of contributions we are looking for, or create your own! Whether you are new to GitHub or experienced, we highly recommend starting from our Contribution Guide for guidance on how to make an open-source contribution to Chayn on GitHub.

Tech volunteers are open-source contributors but with special access to the team, additional guidance, and more opportunities to get involved! ⭐
Currently, we are building a new tech volunteer program for 2024! We ask that volunteers can commit around 6 hours per month, post async updates in group channels like Slack, and attend occasional tech huddles where we will collaborate, share skills, and learn more about Chayn’s work. 🤗 The tech team also works in cycles of three months. ****Each cycle, we’ll meet and decide on a tech focus for that cycle and create GitHub issues to be tackled for the next 3 months.
