Volunteering
Help us make PyCon Africa amazing!
PyCon Africa is a non-profit event, organized by the community, for the community. Everything we do is powered by passionate volunteers who believe in Python and open source.
Why Volunteer?

You'll be directly contributing to the success of the conference and helping create an inclusive space where knowledge is shared and ideas flourish.
