Volunteering with Chebucto Community Net

[Members]     [Sign Up!]     [List Archives]

The Chebucto Community Net, unlike commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs), is administered and directed by its members. CCN therefore depends greatly on the kindness and support of volunteers who dedicate a portion of their free time to this virtual reflection of our community.

As chair of the Volunteer Committee, my task is to inform the membership of ways in which they can participate in the operation of CCN. At the same time, our volunteers gain new skills which they can take into all facets of the 'information society'. With Chebucto Community Net, we move forward together. Read about some of the benefits of volunteering.

There are many ways to volunteer with Chebucto. Follow the links below to explore these options, and when you find something you think suits your talents and interests, go to the volunteer registration page. Note that you must have a Chebucto Community Net user account in order to perform many of the volunteer tasks [register for an account].

On behalf of the Chebucto Community Net, thanks for your interest in joining our volunteer teams.
