All Documenters must create an account and share basic details before applying to their first assignments. These details help the teams who will be paying you for your work and are gathered to assess the demographics of our growing community of Documenters. We’ve created a video tutorial

  1. Register on Documenters.org to create your profile

  2. After you’ve created your account, in the upper right-hand corner you’ll see a yellow circle with your initials - click in to view your profile

  3. From your profile, on the left hand side of the screen you’ll see a pen icon to edit your profile details.

  4. Next please fill in your personal details and sign up form. Local staff access this information to process payments and learn more about your interest in the work of the Documenters Network. Once this is complete, you’ll be ready to apply for your first workshop!

Registering for a workshop

All Documenters are required to attend an orientation before applying for an assignment. We made this video explainer to help you find the list of upcoming orientations in your area.
