How to Contribute.
In-person and virtual working sessions to discuss new challenges and focus on the work of existing project teams. When you attend a Sprint event, expect to spend your time working alongside other volunteers on specific goals prioritized by the community. All skill levels are welcome!
Contribute your Salesforce and professional skills to an existing team solving challenges that interest you. All skills are welcome - you don't need to be a developer!
The Commons starts with you. When our community identifies a problem and works on it together, you create more innovative solutions than we'd ever be able to alone.
"I volunteer because of the great community and the wonderful people I get to meet. If you are open to it, you will get so much more in return than what you put in through the relationships you build."
