Thank you so much for considering volunteering for Click Happy

Volunteer Roles Currently Available

We have scholarships available to decile 1-5 schools throughout the nation for our Click Happy 101 Program that teaches students how to shoot in manual settings on either their cellphone or their DSLR. The goal of the program is to use photography to teach the baseline skills of innovation, creation, iteration, and shipping. Think of it like a creative dojo for future creative changemakers.
Each school with years 8+ Gets 5 spots in the program plus two spots for teachers.
Your job will be to call the schools and confirm that they have received the email and know the scholarships are available.
