Make a difference for the organizations helping your community

dsmHack programming wouldn’t be possible without those who volunteer their time and unique, valuable skills. There’s an opportunity for everyone to get connected and help a nonprofit they are passionate about including one time projects and opportunities for ongoing assistance.

Are you a master coder or even a curious coding apprentice? Do you enjoy learning new skills and solving technical problems? All backgrounds are welcome! All you need is a willingness to give of your time and talents and the ability to work with a team.

Designers

From experience in designing websites, to UX/UI, or application development, we need your creative minds to make our nonprofits shine.

Project Managers & Scrum Masters
