Volunteer Opportunities

Support ISTELive 23 as a Volunteer

Your time and talents help to make the conference a huge success, and can help you:

Feel connected. Become part of a special community that drives the success of the conference.

Learn new skills. You’ll develop new skill sets you can bring back to your organization or use to enhance your resume.

Meet new friends and colleagues. Volunteers make connections with other educators that reach beyond their volunteer shifts and the conference.

Whether you’re attending in person or virtually, we have a volunteer team for you! Just choose the time commitment and activities that interest you. Remember, you don’t need to be a seasoned volunteer to get involved. We’re seeking volunteers who are reliable and have a positive, helpful and friendly disposition. Team and shift selections will open spring 2023.

Design Your ISTELive 23 Experience

With hundreds of sessions, dozens of playgrounds and poster presentations, and lots of off-site learning adventures, you might be asking, “Where do I start?” ISTELive 23 has a team of educators who are excited to help you design your ISTELive 23 experience.
