How to find a Dojo to volunteer with

Volunteering at a Dojo is an incredibly rewarding experience, and Dojos are always looking for new people to help out in various ways. Find out how to get involved below!

I need to find a Dojo

Most people who are interested in volunteering will choose a Dojo that is local to them. To find a Dojo near you, please follow these steps:

1. Register an account on our community platform Zen.
2. Click 'Attend a Dojo' from the options bar on the CoderDojo website. You can then search for nearby Dojos by typing in the name of your town or region.
3. A list and map of Dojos in the area will appear. Select a Dojo to view its profile page with details such as dates, times, and upcoming events.
4. If you have any questions about getting involved, email the Dojo champion using the address provided in the left column of the Dojo's profile page.
5. To express your interest in volunteering/mentoring with the Dojo, click the 'Volunteer as Mentor' button near the bottom of the page. This will notify the champion, who can then contact you to discuss your involvement.
6. Once you have finally decided on a local Dojo that suits you, you can click the 'Join' button on the Dojo's page to be notified of its upcoming events.

I am already involved in a Dojo

If you are already involved in a Dojo, for example as a parent/guardian of an attendee, or as a current/former attendee yourself, all you need to do is talk to the Dojo champion to see how you can help out!
