Volunteer Programme

Help protect real communities.

Guardiobot is run by a small team of volunteers. We depend on them for keeping Guardiobot running, every ban, every report, every update depends on them. Want to help us? This is the place to apply.

What you get out of it

We try to give you as many benefits as possible from volunteering, the benefits listed below are not the limit to what you can get!

Real experience

Work on a live production system used by real communities. Not a tutorial project — actual users depending on the work you do.

Mentorship

Learn from people already working in safety, development, and operations. Ask questions, get feedback, grow your skills.

Recognition

Volunteer ID, recognition in the Guardiobot server, letters of recommendation for those who want them, and a record of your contributions.

Flexible hours

You set your own schedule. There are minimum hour expectations per role, but we work around your life — not the other way around.

Early feature access

Test and give direct feedback on features before they go public. Your input shapes what we build.

Meaningful impact

The actions you take directly affect real people's safety. That matters — and you can see the impact.

Every team has a specific focus. Pick the one that fits your skills and interests.

Common questions

Is this paid?

No. This is a volunteer programme. There is no financial compensation. We're transparent about that from the start.

What's the minimum time commitment?

It varies by role. Officers typically commit to around 5 hours per month. Supervisors and Managers more. Your manager will discuss expectations before you start.

Can I be on multiple teams?

Not initially — we want you to settle into one team first. Cross-team collaboration happens naturally for some roles, but your primary responsibility stays with your team.

My application was declined — can I reapply?

Yes. We'll always give a reason when we decline. If things change or you've addressed the feedback, you're welcome to apply again.

Why does Trust & Safety require 18+?

T&S volunteers review reports that may contain harmful or explicit content including material involving the exploitation of minors. This is a legal and ethical requirement — the role is restricted to adults, full stop.

How does the volunteer ID system work?

Every volunteer receives a unique numeric ID. You use it to log in to the volunteer dashboard and it's publicly verifiable at guardiobot.org/verify/{id} so communities can confirm your credentials.
