The Vision
The community was created by two females in tech, that saw an opportunity to do more.
We saw that most large organisations have a volunteering allowance, but most are under-utilised. Corporate volunteering is often a physical, outdoor event - think planting trees, or giving a play area a makeover - which doesn't resonate with everyone.
Meanwhile, only 12 per cent of non-profits described their organisation as digitally mature.
We believe that we can harness the time and specialist skill sets of more volunteers to benefit our society. Our role is to simplify the match-making and provide projects that everyone can feel proud of.
shared momentum
Having worked in the industry for several decades, Claire and Laura recognised that placing volunteering at the heart of the challenge means that collective goodwill becomes a force multiplier.
By bringing together non-profit organisations, volunteers and other like-minded, Tech4Good organisations, we believe we can achieve more together. We can make it easy for volunteers to connect to multiple projects which means that together, we can drive greater impact across our communities.
Who can join the community?
Anyone is welcome to join, regardless of age, gender and background. The only 'must' is some prior technical knowledge, or experience of working in a tech adjacent role, such as a SCRUM Master, Business Analyst or Project Manager.
Whether you've built your tech skills but not yet launched a career, or you've worked in a tech environment for a while, we can help you put your skills to work for good.
The community is free to join and you will have the option to accept or decline each project.
Come and join us
We're collaborators at heart, bringing lots of people together with a shared purpose.
Come and join the community in one of these ways-
- If you are already working in tech – either with practical tech skills, or experience of working in a technical project, utilise your volunteer time in a meaningful way. You can also volunteer to be a mentor to those who are new to tech.
- If you have technical knowledge, but haven't yet started your career in the tech, sign up to put your skills into action, helping others as you gain experience and continue to learn.
- If you are a non-profit organisation that could use our help - even if you don't yet know what the solution looks like - please reach out.
- If you're part of a Tech4Good mission, please reach out and explore how we can collaborate.
