Volunteer Survey

''A proper survey is a TBD project. :) In the meantime...''

Please send a note to securedrop@freedom.press with "Design Volunteer," "Research Volunteer," or "Design AND Research Volunteer" in the subject line.

In your email, please include the following details as brief bullets for our project manager to put into a spreadsheet. There are no right or wrong answers, and this information will never be posted or shared publicly. This information will help FPF project leads keep track of volunteers, as well as to know who's best suited to do which tasks.

Thank you for your interest in contributing to SecureDrop!
