JOINTHE TEAM
SAIL is built and run entirely by high school students. Here is where we need people.
Why join
Real responsibility, not busywork
Every part of SAIL is run by students — the workshops, the curriculum, the books, the outreach. There is no layer of adults above you assigning tasks. If you join the finance team, you keep a real nonprofit’s ledger. If you join marketing, the things you make are what schools and funders actually see.
Every role is open to high school students, and no prior experience is required for any of them — we care much more that you follow through on what you take on.
We try to be honest about the commitment. These are real hours on top of coursework, and the work is sometimes unglamorous: reconciling receipts, rewriting a slide for the fourth time, emailing a school that has not replied. What you get back is that the results are visibly yours — a chapter that exists because you started it, a budget that balances because you kept it.
Everyone here is doing this around school, so we build roles around commitments people can actually keep. If your workload changes, tell us and we will adjust rather than lose you.
Open roles
Apply to a Team
Chapter Lead
4–8 hours/week · High school students
Start and run a SAIL chapter at your school. You recruit a small team, run workshops for younger students, and get the Chapter-in-a-Box curriculum, slide decks, and operational support to do it.
What you would do
- Run AI literacy workshops at your school or in your community
- Recruit and coordinate a small team of student volunteers
- Adapt our curriculum to the students you are teaching
Marketing Team
2–3 hours/week · Remote
Help more students find SAIL. You will work on our social presence, outreach materials, and the way we tell the story of what student-led AI literacy actually looks like.
What you would do
- Create content for Instagram and LinkedIn
- Design outreach materials for schools and community partners
- Help shape how SAIL presents itself to students and funders
Finance Team
2–3 hours/week · Remote
Keep a nonprofit's books honest. You will help track our budget, prepare grant reporting, and make sure every dollar we raise is accounted for and spent on programming.
What you would do
- Maintain the expense ledger and reconcile receipts
- Help prepare budgets and reporting for grant applications
- Track spending against programming so we can show funders where money went
