CHIkids Volunteers

Dedicated CHIkids Leaders (as well as daily volunteers) are currently being sought. Volunteers are needed to make CHIkids a success.

Individuals and organizations interested in focusing on projects that involve kids in innovative educational technological experiences are also encouraged to submit their work and products for use by the children in the program. See the CHIkids call for submissions page for details.

CHIkids - Leaders

The success of the CHIkids Program is due in great part to the expertise, experience, and energy of our CHIkids Leaders. During the three days of the technology program, a dedicated team of CHI volunteers works with our CHIkids in creating multimedia software (Multimedia Storytelling) and creating the conference newsletter and website (CHIkids Newsroom).

If you are interested in volunteering to be a CHIkids Leader in either of these creative areas, please submit a one-page summary that includes your contact information, your experience (if any) working with children, what CHIkids area you are interested in, and what you hope to accomplish as a CHIkids Leader. Please identify the language(s) that you speak.

Only a limited number of CHIkids Leaders can be selected; therefore, your timely submission is critical. The submission deadline for CHIkids Leaders is January 31, 2000. Assistance with airfare, accommodations, and conference registration may be provided.

CHIkids - Daily Volunteers

If you are interested in experiencing our CHIkids program, but cannot commit the time required to be a CHIkids Leader, then you may be interested in being a CHIkids Daily Volunteer. As a Daily Volunteer you can select the days and/or times you are available to work at CHIkids. If you are interested in volunteering, please submit a one-page summary that includes your contact information, your experience (if any) working with children. Also tell us the CHIkids area(s) you would like to work in, as well as the day(s)/time(s) you would like to participate. Please indicate the language(s) that you speak.

You can now register children for CHIkids online!
