1. Volunteer Application Process

1. Volunteer Application Process

The volunteer application process is quick and easy. It just requires a simple application followed by a quick vetting process. We’ll use your answers to make sure you’re a good fit for us (and that you’re a safe person for our community.)

You do not need to be a member to volunteer! Volunteers must sign a liability waiver and provide the same information as members, with their full legal name, DOB, and have a free account on your AutonomyProject.org dashboard. We do conduct a basic background check for the safety of our community. All volunteers and members receive a basic background check. We serve vulnerable communities—including trans folks, survivors, sex workers, and folks with trauma histories—so we do limited background checks where safety and legal compliance are required. If that feels intimidating, talk to us—we’re not here to judge, we’re here to protect. Everyone deserves a chance to do good.

Once you’ve joined, you’ll need to copy/paste your username into the application you’ll fill out in the next step.

  1. Click your profile icon on the bottom left of your discord window
  2. Click the Copy icon next to your username (it will appear once you hover over it)

If you’re new to Discord, that’s ok! This is just the place where we coordinate, answer questions, and collaborate on ideas. You can also brush up on How to Use Discord
