Volunteer With Us

Since 2014, POWRPLNT has worked in tandem with our neighbors in Bushwick to provide access to computers, sliding scale workshops with young activists and artists, and share knowledge about how technology can be a tool for empowerment and liberation.

Our goal is to be a node in a thriving ecosystem of community spaces in Bushwick. You can help us re-open our doors for an entire year.  Along with community-led activations, our goal is to reestablish our Computer Lab, a center for WIFI, printing, homework help, tech literacy courses and job-boards that supports and welcomes children, teens, young adults, and elders alike.

POWRPLNT is a network of artists committed to providing digital arts education and access for all. Our mission is to provide the resources, mentorship, and education to thrive in the creative economy today. Our volunteers help us actualize our mission by assisting in workshops, assisting in language access, outreach support and keeping our lab open. If you have any questions please email digital@powrplnt.org
