Minecraft experience is useful for some roles, but you don’t need to be an expert to contribute. We start with your interests, skills, availability, and comfort.
Host & bring people together
Help with Connection Hour, monthly activities, or seasonal festivals. Co-host a gathering, coordinate the details, or make sure everyone finds their way.
A good fit if: you enjoy shared activities and making a group feel welcome.

Tell us about your ideaGetting started
A conversation comes first.
Tell us a little about you.
Share what you enjoy, your relevant experience, and the kind of time you’d like to offer. It’s fine if you’re still figuring that out.
Find a role that fits.
We’ll talk about current needs, your interests, and any support or adjustments that would help you contribute.
Get oriented, then begin.
We’ll introduce the community, expectations, and people you’ll work with. Roles involving facilitation or moderation need additional preparation.
A few things to know
Good questions.
No pressure.
Do I need to know how to play Minecraft?
Not for every role. Writing, communications, evaluation, and many other contributions happen outside the game. If a role involves Minecraft, we can talk about what you’d need to learn.
What if my energy or availability changes?
Tell us what works for you. We understand fluctuating health and energy. Some roles suit occasional or asynchronous contributions; scheduled hosting and guiding need agreed availability.
Can I volunteer from home?
Yes. Second Haven is a virtual community. The setup you’ll need depends on the role, so let us know what devices and experience you have when you get in touch.
What do you expect from volunteers?
Kindness, respect for boundaries, and a commitment to our inclusive culture. Volunteers follow our community rules and the expectations agreed for their role. Read about community care.
