2. Share your preferences
Tell organisations something about yourself and what you're looking for in your profile. Share your skills, availability and interests as well as what you would like to support with.
3. Get approached
You can of course also look for a suitable activity yourself.
If you are approached and not interested, decline their offer so they can continue their search.
Frequently Asked Questions
I also see a checkbox for the crisis pool, what is that?
In times of crisis, there is often a special role for us as a volunteer center. The crisis pool is a list of people we can approach in times of need. This way we can all respond quickly when it is needed.
Can I unsubscribe again?
Of course. On your profile page you can indicate with one click of your mouse whether you want to be part of the volunteer and crisis pool or not, you can also leave and join at any time as many times as you wish.
Can anyone just reach out to me?
No, you can only be approached by organisations that are members of our platform (all organizations are screened by us). In addition, the number of times you can be contacted is limited to 5 open 'reachouts'. This is to prevent you from being flooded with requests.
I am not being approached, what now?
You can try to adjust your profile text or your preferences. You can also look for a suitable activity yourself or approach organizations proactively by taking a look here. Still need help, contact us!
