HOW IT WORKS

Join our volunteer community for free and make a difference using technology and your skills

We bring together people from all backgrounds to work on hackathons and practical projects. Together, we plan, design, and build technology that helps communities and society. Social impact means the positive effect our work has on people and the wider community.


Our community is inclusive and open to everyone aged 18 and above. Whether you’re starting your career, switching careers, returning to work, retired, or working full-time, you’re welcome to join. All we ask is that you have some skills — technical or professional — and are ready to share them to help others or support organisations.


Most of our volunteer projects run for 4–12 weeks, and you can choose a schedule that fits around your other commitments.

Jobs You Could Be Ready For

Volunteering with The CloudCrew gives you real project experience

Depending on your skills and interests, you could be ready for roles such as:


  • Marketing & Communications – social media, content, campaigns, branding
     
  • Product & Project Management – planning, organising, delivering projects
     
  • Operations & Administration – process improvement, systems, coordination
     
  • Design & UX – graphic design, web design, user experience
     
  • Technology & IT – website updates, data, coding basics, testing
     
  • Strategy & Research – analysis, business planning, insights
     
  • Finance & HR – budgeting, reporting, people management
     

Even if your background isn’t in tech, volunteering gives you hands-on experience working with technology projects, so you can confidently move into entry-level or career-returner roles in tech, marketing, or project delivery.

How we help - a community where everyone can benefit

We believe that by harnessing the collective power of volunteering, we can- 

  • Provide skill-based volunteer opportunities for people that already have tech skills and knowledge. (take a look at the Projects and Hackathon pages).
  • Provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for people that can share career experience with others (take a look at the Mentoring page).
  • Help people that are new-to-tech build credible experience onto their CV.
  • Deliver digital solutions for non-profit organisations, helping them to work more efficiently. 


  And along the way, we’ll develop our skills, learn new ways of working and make fresh connections.

Deliver Technical Projects

Share Your Experience as a Mentor

Share Your Experience as a Mentor

Whether you'd describe yourself as an experienced technical resource, or if you've just trained to break into a tech career, there is an opportunity for you to give back to your community by delivering tech projects to non-profit organisations. Develop new skills, connections and experience whilst creating social impact. Volunteer for as little as a half-day at a time.

We know that breaking into a tech career takes more than re-skilling. Our mentoring scheme provides an opportunity for more experienced people to mentor those just starting out in their career. The shared insights, discussion and advice helps our less experienced tech professionals to grow in confidence.
