Skilled volunteers matched to causes

The problem

Volunteering meant boots on the ground, which excluded skilled professionals who had time and talent but could not show up in person. Causes missed out on the digital skills they needed most.

The approach

Built an online platform matching skilled volunteers to causes, connecting people with professional and tertiary skills to create marketing and digital assets remotely.

UNDERSTAND

Inside the work

Mapped the skills causes needed and the professionals locked out by location.

WORKFLOW + DATA

Codify & capture

Built an online platform matching skilled volunteers to causes.

EXECUTION

Run it at scale

Moved volunteering from boots on the ground to skills in the cloud.

The result

A cloud platform changed the nature of volunteering from physical to skilled and remote. Causes got the digital work they could never afford, and professionals could finally give their time.

Volunteering did not need more hands. It needed more skills.
