I want to become an admin, but I am not sure how to join them. If I just ask, I am worried that they might say they do not need, so is there a place where you can see if a space is availabe?

Go here for contacting a bureaucrat. Make sure to chose the recent active bureaucrat. Admins are chosen by bureaucrats.
Thanks!
Though a word of warning: they mght say no. Not all wikis accept self-nominations.
For pretty much every wiki, you need to be an active contributor for quite a while (possibly a few years) before you even are considered to become a staff member. It's very unlikely that someone will give a user admin rights on their first few days on the wiki.
In over 10 years as an admin and bureaucrat, I can think of only one time I accepted a self-nomination and promoted them to admin. Most folks who want to be admins want it for the wrong reasons.
So only bereaucrats on wikis, can make people admins, they can do it by going to the admin dashboard, and then going to user rights, and then typing your username and selecting what they want you to be, you can become an admin by doing a lot of work on the wiki, and then maybe a bereaucrat will see the work you did and make you an admin, or you could just message a bereaucrat and ask him/her to make you an admin, both of these ways to become a admin have no guarantee if it will work, it is completly up to the bereaucrats on the wiki, good question I hope this helps.
They don't have to go to "Admin dashboard". They can go to a user's contributions, and then click "user rights mangement" and then choose the rights they want to grant and then it's done!
Yeah that's another shorter way to do it.
