Make your mark on CAPS 2025!

We are actively seeking volunteers to join the CAPS 2025 Program Planning Committee. Like much of this field, AAPS conferences are supported by volunteer committee members who shape both the vision and design of our events as well as provide critical support for submission review and program curation.

Join the AAPS Conference Committee to:

  • Make your mark on the field’s leading event. Conference volunteers have been integral in establishing structures to efficiently plan and implement virtual and in-person events, and making diversity, equity and inclusion a central focus of our conference events.
  • Gain exposure to the ideas and people shaping this field. Committee members actively review hundreds of submissions representing the different facets of the field of participatory sciences to curate a program that offers value to people from many different backgrounds in this field.
  • Get behind the scenes access, and discounts. Conference volunteers get unique opportunities to connect with featured speakers and AAPS leaders, as well as free or reduced registration.

The committee meets monthly to discuss event themes, structures, and opportunities for innovations in how we conference. Volunteer roles are flexible with an average monthly commitment of 2-6 hours and opportunities to contribute can be matched to your interests and availability.

Interested in joining the AAPS Conference Committee? Please share your contact information and availability here and we will reach out with next steps.
