From dozens of applicants, 12 outstanding volunteers were selected to contribute and grow together through various JCH community programs.

Meet the Founding Volunteer Team

A Warm and Interactive Start

The inaugural session featured engaging introductions where volunteers shared their backgrounds, motivations, and aspirations for their journey with JCH. Beyond getting to know each other, the meeting provided deeper insights into JCH’s vision, values, and collaborative approach as a technology community focused on learning, connection, and personal development.

The atmosphere was welcoming and energetic, setting the tone for meaningful collaboration ahead. Volunteers participated in activities designed to break the ice and build trust, laying the groundwork for effective teamwork in future initiatives.

Understanding Roles and Responsibilities

A key component of the meeting was clarifying the roles and responsibilities across different divisions. Volunteers learned how they would contribute to various JCH activities moving forward, including:

  • Event Management: Organizing workshops, webinars, and mini classes
  • Educational Content: Creating tutorials, articles, and learning resources
  • Community Engagement: Fostering connections within Yogyakarta’s tech ecosystem
  • Marketing and Outreach: Spreading awareness about JCH programs and initiatives
  • Technical Support: Assisting with platform management and technical requirements

This structured approach ensures that each volunteer can contribute meaningfully while developing skills in their areas of interest.

Building a Collaborative Culture

The meeting emphasized establishing a collaborative work culture from the outset. JCH’s philosophy of “Connect, Collaborate, and Grow” resonated throughout the session, reminding everyone that the community is more than just a place to learn technology—it’s a space to grow alongside people who share the same vision.

Volunteers discussed how they could support each other, share knowledge, and leverage their collective strengths to create impactful programs for the broader community. This foundation of mutual support and shared purpose will be crucial as JCH continues to expand its reach.

What’s Next for JCH Volunteers

With the inaugural meeting complete, the volunteer team is now positioned to drive JCH’s mission forward. Upcoming initiatives will include planning educational programs, expanding community outreach, and creating resources that make tech learning more accessible to everyone in Yogyakarta and beyond.

The team will meet regularly to coordinate activities, share updates, and continue building the collaborative culture established during this first gathering. Each volunteer brings unique perspectives and skills that will enrich JCH’s offerings and strengthen the community.
