A briefing presentation on Do Something Good for the media.

1. Transforming volunteering in your community

2. Bridging volunteering into the
digital age
The challenge
Many want to contribute back to society through volunteering but have
trouble finding information about where and how without pre-existing
relationships with NGOs
Organisations struggle to gain access to quality volunteers and have trouble
tracking the specific skills and performance of their volunteer base
The impact
Transforming the way volunteering happens by:
 aggregating information centrally,
 accessing real time and mobile volunteering information,
 making it social by connecting it with Facebook,
 and making it fun through badges and points.

3. How it works
Do Something Good is an online
platform that helps people find local
volunteering opportunities and gain
points and badges for participating.
Organisations can set up volunteering
opportunities and manage
registrations. They also have a tool to
that enables registering volunteers
from their own web sites.
