Hackathon Volunteer Application Form

Streamline Your Hackathon Volunteer Recruitment

Running a successful hackathon requires a dedicated team of volunteers who can mentor participants, manage registration, coordinate food service, and keep things running smoothly around the clock. This Hackathon Volunteer Application Form helps you identify the right people for the right roles—capturing technical skills, availability, experience, and sponsor credentials in one organized workflow.

Whether you're organizing a student hackathon, corporate innovation challenge, or community code sprint, this template is built for tech event organizers who need to match volunteers with roles that suit their strengths. You'll collect everything from GitHub profiles and mentorship areas to overnight availability and dietary requirements, all in a single, on-brand form.

Perfect for tech event teams and innovation hubs

This form is ideal for hackathon organizers, university tech societies, innovation labs, startup accelerators, and community tech groups who rely on volunteer support to create memorable participant experiences. Use it to build a capable volunteer roster before your event kicks off.

Automate your volunteer coordination with Stepper

Once applications come in, you can use Stepper to automate your volunteer management workflow. Send confirmation emails, assign volunteers to shifts based on their availability, create Slack channels for different teams (mentors, registration, food service), update your volunteer database in Airtable or Notion, and trigger reminders as the event approaches—all without manual copy-paste work.

Collect eSignatures with Papersign

If you need volunteers to sign waivers, code of conduct agreements, or NDA forms, integrate Papersign to turn each application into a legally binding eSignature workflow. Keep everything connected to the original submission for a clean audit trail.

With Paperform's conditional logic, custom branding, and flexible integrations, you can create a volunteer application experience that feels as innovative as the hackathon itself.
