How do I get selected for a project?
The volunteers are selected based on the following three criteria.
1. MATCH: The applicant has relevant knowledge, skills and abilities required for the project such as portfolio, job experience, or qualification.
2. ATTITUDE: The applicant demonstrates interest and passion in the project. A resume section dedicated to one's past volunteering experience (if any) will be beneficial.
3. COMMITMENT: The applicant is able to carry out the project and cope with this additional responsibility throughout the project duration.

Will there be teammates to work on the project together?
It depends on the scope and how large the project is. The number of volunteers needed in the project is shown in the project description page.
What does strategy mean?
Strategy projects for social organisations generally revolve around assessing their processes, capabilities, organization objectives and their relevant external environment to derive insights, guidelines and frameworks to drive improvement and growth. Some strategy projects we offer include impact assessment, growth strategy and process optimisation.
When do projects start?
Projects are on an ad-hoc basis and start when suitable volunteers are matched to it. New projects will be posted every Thursday and the applications will be closed on the following Monday for immediate projects.
Immediate projects are projects that require volunteers to start immediately and will usually start 1-2 weeks after their application closes.
Is the volunteer work remote or physical?
It is remote and that is why you can make a difference anytime, anywhere!
What will the job scope be like?
Every project is different, and therefore, the scope of work will be diverse too! It really depends on the projects that you get staffed on.
I have no work experience, can I still volunteer?
