SSAGO Policy Fixers

We are looking for volunteers to assist us to go through all of our current policy documents and factsheets so we can update and simplify them. It doesn’t matter if you only want to deal with one document or all of them, every contribution will be a great help! For more detail on what we do and how we work as a project, check out our Project Document.

Web Team

Have an interest in web development and fancy diving into the SSAGO website, and all its associated systems?

We will be looking to build new areas, new features and update the website to make it the best it can be - responding to the continually changing and growing needs of SSAGO, club committees and the SSAGO membership.

From developing the SSAGO app, the membership system, the events system, building completely new web-based systems, and making everything we have better, there's plenty of opportunities to get involved in very exciting areas - and your ideas are at the forefront of what we work on!

Some degree of computing and development experience is required, but don't worry if you're not an expert - there's plenty of chance to learn as you go!
