Come learn about the future of volunteering by celebrating Vollie’s launch and by hearing from a panel of leaders on the topic.
Our panel will discuss:
– The issues facing both would-be volunteers and not-for-profit organisations in Australia
– Skill-based volunteering and cloud-based volunteering
– Volunteering to increase sustainability within organisations
– The future of corporate volunteering
– How best can we make an impact – through donations, action, or volunteering?
– How YOU can use your skills and make a difference
General Assembly is a global tech school teaching the most relevant skills of the 21st century across technology, design, marketing and business.
Vollie will connect skilled young Australians with non-profit organisations and unlock a new style of skills-based remote volunteering. Vollie projects are exclusively online, meaning that volunteers can donate their skills and experience from anywhere in the world, at any time. Users will be able to find projects aligned with their skills and passions within a matter of minutes, and the application process is as simple as logging in via LinkedIn. Once completed, users will be able to add projects to their resume/LinkedIn and share their experience through Facebook.
Launching in November, Vollie already has a host of exciting non-profit organisations committed to the platform, including Make-A-Wish, Greenpeace, Starlight Children’s Foundation, The Butterfly Foundation and Foodbank.
