"I was a volunteer in Garage48 for two years. During the two amazing action-packed years, I learned a lot about the startup community and the people who are truly committed to their work. The Garage48 staff is amazing and supportive which gives you the happiness and joy to come back every week. I was fortunate enough to meet great people, get involved in some worthwhile work, writing blogs, and doing more than I could have imagined. I would recommend this experience to anyone or everyone wanting to help out and try something new.
