Main Page

Yes, everyone is a volunteer on some level, but how can you step up your advocacy and support of Creative Commons in your domain. This page is set to explore the idea of applied volunteerism with Creative Commons to help evangelize, discuss, and present Creative Commons to your locale.

Opportunities

Conferences

Creative Commons is a small nonprofit. CC presents at several conferences a year, but the formal staff is small. We often need other CC community members to help us at conferences by helping present the projects, fliers, and other issues. Also, this is a great way to get into your favorite conference for free!

Presentations

How can you give a presentation about Creative Commons to your respective locale, business associates, community members, and friends. This is a good way to participate and help build the commons - explain the ideas to others to help spread the good news!
