Our Mission and Purpose
Creating Social Impact Through Skills‑Based Volunteering
The Cloud Crew is a community-driven organisation helping people move into tech careers. Our mission is to bridge the gap between learning and employment. We do this providing work experience and industry mentoring, at scale.
By combining volunteering and technology, we support individuals, organisations and communities to thrive. We host work experience by helping businesses and charities to adopt more digital ways of working. By delivering digital transformation projects, we connect aspiring tech professionals with the experience they need to be noticed by employers.
We value strong collaborations. We work with Delivery Partners to build clear pathways between learning and employment. We work with Industry Partners to support our aspiring tech professionals with industry-experienced, volunteer Technical Coaches and Volunteer Mentors.
What We Stand For
Our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between learning and employment. We help people gain tech experience, build confidence and make industry connections.
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their background or barriers to employment.
Why It Matters
We focus on three key areas to create lasting impact:
Work (Providing Opportunities)
- We create more opportunities for people facing barriers to employment.
- We support job seekers to build experience and confidence for launching tech careers.
Economy (Driving Inclusive Growth)
- We help local businesses, start-ups, and charities with digital adoption.
Community (Empowering Communities)
- We facilitate skills-based volunteering opportunities and deliver localised projects and initiatives that strengthen communities
- Through purposeful volunteering, we improve the wellbeing of employees.
How We Help Volunteers
By combining mentoring and real-world experience, we help skilled job-seekers to move from gaining skills to gaining employment. At the same time, we support organisations and communities to thrive in a digital world.
Together, we create opportunities, empower communities, and drive positive change.
How We Help charities
The Cloud Crew partners with charities to deliver skills-based volunteering, technical support, and mentorship.
Our volunteers and coaches work on real-world projects, helping organisations solve challenges, improve digital capabilities, and amplify social impact — all while developing leadership and professional skills.
