VibeLab Community

The community is growing.
We're inviting volunteers.

VibeLab runs weekly online and in-person events for vibe coders, designers and builders. We're opening a small volunteer crew to help plan, host and grow them, and to grow with us.

Applications curated through end of 2026, volunteers onboard early 2027

What you'd do

Pick a lane, own real events

📅

Events & Speakers

Calendar, format, speakers, agendas, hosting and logistics. You run the show.

📣

Marketing & Content

Posters, copy, promotion, photo and video, recaps and showcases.

🤝

Community & Operations

Registrations, reminders, engagement, attendance, feedback and records.

Roles are specializations, not silos. Every event has one Event Owner who runs the full lifecycle and arranges a backup.

What you walk away with

More than a volunteer badge

A founder-light model: you learn to plan, market, host and close out events independently, and you can graduate to VibeLab Mentor.

1

Real ownership

Plan, market, host and close out real events, end to end, not busywork.

2

Playbooks and mentor time

Shared templates and guidance from ProbG and Ananya, plus people to build with.

3

A 12-month path

A clear route from volunteer to VibeLab Mentor, with reviews along the way.

4

Recognition you can show

Public recognition, references and a community you genuinely helped build.

The full playbook

How the program works

Everything below is the real program detail, kept here for anyone who wants it. Tap to expand.

1 Program structure & governance +
12 months per core volunteer, with a month-four checkpoint and a month-12 graduation review. A small cohort of 2 to 3 leads, by application and approval, with an occasional helper pool for bounded event tasks. One VibeLab event each weekend. ProbG and Ananya keep strategic direction, sensitive approvals and final decisions on brand, finance and partnerships. The initial pilot is unpaid unless separately agreed in writing; paid roles, if any, come only after a successful pilot and a new agreement.
2 Weekly operating model +
A rotating four-week mix: an in-person meetup or buildathon, an online expert talk, an online build-along or challenge, and an online AMA or teardown. Swap based on venue, partner and team capacity. One named Event Owner per event, with a backup. If a speaker cancels, a prepared fallback format runs instead. A 48-event annual cadence is a planning ambition, not a reason to run an unsafe or low-quality event.
3 End-to-end event playbook +
A clear timeline, from 3 to 4 weeks before (goal, audience, format, draft agenda, speaker outreach, backup format) through the days before (registration live, branded posters, run-of-show, helper roles) to event day (welcome, hosting, engagement, photo and video consent and capture) and after (within 48 hours: thank-yous, feedback, photos organized; within 7 days: recap, approved media, community invitation, metrics and archive). Standard status flow: Proposed, Confirmed, Promotion Live, Completed, Archived.
4 Performance & KPIs +
An eight-week pilot first, then a monthly scorecard: delivery reliability, online ownership, lifecycle completeness, attendance quality, community contribution, experience and workload sustainability. An event counts toward graduation only when it actually happened, has credible attendance and participation, has the required records and passes agreed quality gates. Event count alone is not enough.
5 Volunteer-to-Mentor progression +
Month 0 entry (application, selection, agreement, access, baseline skills). Months 1 to 2: learn, by shadowing, co-hosting and assisting with promotion and reporting. Months 3 to 4: own, by leading events with full lifecycle accountability. Months 5 to 11: operate independently, improve the playbooks and support newcomers. Month 12: review your portfolio against the graduation gates. Mentor status is recognition, not a promise of pay, revenue share or ongoing work.
6 Volunteer agreement principles +
Before you start there is a short, understandable agreement covering: the nature and duration of the relationship and realistic time commitment; scope of responsibilities and the right to decline or hand over tasks with notice; unpaid pilot terms; permitted use of the VibeLab name, logos, accounts and templates; a code of conduct with respectful, anti-harassment community moderation; participant privacy, with only necessary information collected and photo and video consent respected; ownership and licensing of created event materials; no authority to sign contracts or make financial commitments without approval; and a fair review, withdrawal and exit process. These are drafting principles, not legal advice.
