Maker Hub Community | Georgetown University Library

Monitors & Volunteers

Monitors and Volunteers are the backbone of the Maker Hub. They welcome our visitors, help them learn new tools, and provide advice on projects according to their expertise. When not helping visitors, they are cleaning and organizing the space, learning new tools, and working on other projects that improve and promote the Maker Hub.

Volunteers

Volunteers work a single 2-hour shift each week, and in return receive a personal keycode which can be used to access the Maker Hub outside of open hours.

To become a Maker Hub Volunteer, students first participate in the Volunteer in Training (ViT) Program in which they learn Maker Hub systems and policies, practice hands-on skills at different making stations, and hone their interpersonal skills as they shadow an experienced Maker Volunteer Parent (MVP). If becoming a Maker Hub Volunteer sounds up your alley, please fill out the Volunteer Interest Form prior to March 17th. Please note that responses to this form will be used to select volunteers for the upcoming semester, as slots rarely open up mid-semester.

Monitors

Monitors work approximately 6-12 hours each week, are given a personal keycode, and are paid an hourly wage. Monitors are required to have a Federal Work Study award. Please check HoyaWorks for open Monitor positions.

Maker Neighbors

Maker Neighbors are people that are not directly GU affiliated, but have special expertise that they share with the Maker Hub Community through volunteer hours, mentorship, and special projects. If you'd like to become a Maker Neighbor, contact makerhub@georgetown.edu.

I want to work at the Maker Hub because I've always had a knack for building and tinkering. By the end of the semester, I hope to help as many people with projects as I can, maybe I'll even pick some ideas up along the way!
