Security

We are putting together a program similar to the previous events we have run. The exact program will be influenced by the local Sydney needs and skilled volunteers. View the previous programs in Byron Bay, Melbourne and Brisbane.

This unique opportunity will bring highly specialised knowledge – usually out of reach to most grassroots campaigners – into an affordable and inclusive space.

Anyone is welcome to apply and we encourage diversity. Previous digital experience is not necessary. Places are limited and we will select the people who we believe will make the most effective use of these new skills in changing the world.
