Transforming volunteering in your community
Bridging volunteering into the
digital age The challenge
Many want to contribute back to society through volunteering but have trouble finding information about where and how without pre-existing relationships with NGOs
Organisations struggle to gain access to quality volunteers and have trouble tracking the specific skills and performance of their volunteer base
The impact
Transforming the way volunteering happens by:
aggregating information centrally,
accessing real time and mobile volunteering information,
making it social by connecting it with Facebook,
and making it fun through badges and points.
How it works
Do Something Good is an online platform that helps people find local volunteering opportunities and gain points and badges for participating.
Organisations can set up volunteering opportunities and manage registrations. They also have a tool to that enables registering volunteers from their own web sites.
