Community News & Updates from Our Committees / Task Forces

We Value All Contributions - The Carpentries 2021 Fundraiser
There are 22 days left in our campaign! As of today, we are 22% of the way to reaching our goal!

Funds we get from this campaign will help us:

• Offer greater diversity in the languages we teach and interact in.

• Recognize and appreciate the different cultural norms that exist around data, programming, teaching, and volunteering in different regions to improve our programs and services.

• Collaborate with existing organisations to reach broader communities.

• Authentically engage broader communities, working with, not for them.

The Carpentries is updating our pricing for the first time since 2016
Starting in January 2022, Carpentries pricing for membership, workshops, and Instructor Training will change. Learn more about the pricing changes including context and details about the new prices in this blog post by Carpentries Associate Director, Erin Becker.
