Becoming TF Chapter Lead - Phase 1

Techfugees exists to coordinate a tech communities response to the problems that refugees and displaced people are facing, and ultimately to empower the displaced with technology.

As a chapter, you are an ESSENTIAL part of the achievement of Techfugees’ global mission via creating impact locally. You are the eyes, ears and hands of Techfugees on the ground and we count on you to:
- Build bridges between tech / entrepreneur / humanitarian and academic ecosystems
- Create the conditions to enable the development of #tech4refugees projects;
- Sensitise and educate on how to make ethical & longterm #tech4refugees;
- Promote & represent Techfugees locally and regionally.

Supported from HQ with a wealth of experience, expertise and tools including guidelines, templates, training and network, our chapters join our Techfugees international family.

The application process to open a local chapter or become co-chapter lead has four phases:

- Phase 1 - Getting to know you, your motivation and understanding of Techfugees
