Onboarding

Welcome To The Team

As a Glia volunteer, you’re part of an international team that is actively designing, testing, and manufacturing medical hardware. Our medical hardware is open-source, and shared freely online. Glia collaborates with APIL Toronto, Mosaic Medical London and Tashkeel Gaza. 

“We believe in creating and sharing hardware that is easily accessible and can be manufactured in low-resource settings. Hundreds of our devices are already in use around the world.” - Glia.org

With your contribution, we can create incredible things.  Thank you for joining the team!

 

Orientation Sessions

A Glia team member can schedule a Zoom meeting with you if you need some help navigating MatterMost channels and boards. At this meeting, you can also ask any questions you have, and find the best way to contribute. We want your volunteer experience to enrich you as well as us! In order to book an orientation session, please contact info@glia.org and one of the team members will get back to you.
