Many infosec professionals would love to help those interested in joining the infosec community, but don't know the available resources and options to volunteer. Many organizations building the programs for new professionals desperately need volunteers. This talk aims to identify resources and opportunities for us as professionals to help the pipeline. Helping also comes with the silver lining of being able to help develop new professionals which can allow for more visibility for choosing your organizations next intern. Resources continue to build and continue to target younger groups for learning infosec as programs targeting middle schoolers are becoming more frequent. I will be discussing many of the more popular programs that exist and how to participate.
