Build CASIT with us

Help Build Something That Lasts.

CASIT is bringing together Chaldean, Assyrian, and Syriac professionals across technology, business, and entrepreneurship. We're looking for people who believe in the power of connection and want to contribute their experience, ideas, and time to help create opportunities for our community.

Open participation

Opportunity Shouldn't Depend on Who You Know.

CASIT believes meaningful professional opportunities should be accessible through transparent participation pathways. You shouldn't need a personal relationship with CASIT's founder or leadership to express interest in helping our community. We welcome people with different backgrounds, career paths, and ways of contributing. Participation is based on mutual respect, relevant experience, reliability, and willingness to contribute.

  • 01

    Transparent Opportunities

    Contribution areas and what they involve are published here, for anyone to see and express interest in.

  • 02

    Fair Consideration

    Interest is reviewed against the needs of each role, not personal connections. A degree or a well-known employer is never a requirement on its own.

  • 03

    Respect for Every Contributor

    First-time volunteers and early-career professionals have real ways to contribute alongside experienced leaders.

  • 04

    Shared Leadership & Accountability

    Contributors help shape CASIT and are accountable for the responsibilities they take on.

Expressing interest is not automatic acceptance, and some specialized roles call for specific experience. No one is excluded for lacking a degree or a prestigious employer, and there are always paths open to first-time volunteers.

What we look for
