MechaSpark is run by a very small paid staff and a large number of dedicated volunteers. We have dozens of people with a wide range of skills and interests working hard on creating a space and community to support the work we all want to do. For many volunteers, helping is a way to give back to their community or support something important to them all while developing new skills.
