What's in it for the volunteers? Volunteers are free to use the Maker Hub's equipment for personal projects when student traffic in their respective area is low or outside of their volunteer hours. Of course, the same [https://maker-hub.georgefox.edu/wiki/Getting_Started#Material_Policy material policies] and [https://maker-hub.georgefox.edu/wiki/Getting_Started#Production_Runs production policies] apply to volunteers as they do to all other Maker Hub users. The Maker Hub is primarily an educational space, and this will always remain a top priority. Volunteers are also encouraged to take some ownership of their particular area. What does this mean? This means you can dream with us about developing the Maker Hub. Are there certain tools or pieces of equipment that we should purchase? How could things be made more efficient or aesthetically beautiful? How could we upgrade the training process in your area? Are there certain machines you enjoy maintaining? Are there certain skill seminars that you want to teach? Do you have ideas for promoting the Maker Hub on social media? Lastly, volunteers have the joy of passing down wisdom to the next generation. There a satisfaction in getting to know the students and equipping the next generation of Christian leaders with both technical skills and life skills as they transition to adulthood.

Student volunteers oversee a particular facility and help conduct training and demonstrations for several pieces of equipment within that facility. Student aces/volunteers often receive additional privileges such as extended access to their facility.
