Communiteer is a social venture on a mission to increase social participation via virtual volunteering.
Communiteer’s online platform enables Not-For-Profit organisations and social ventures to collaborate with skilled volunteers in order to achieve positive social outcomes.
Virtual volunteering is any volunteering activity that can be performed online. It is also known as online volunteering, e-volunteering and micro-volunteering.
Virtual volunteering complements traditional, face-to-face volunteering, by giving volunteers another way to get involved. Virtual volunteering can range from less technical tasks like social media engagement and the signing of petitions to more technical tasks such as designing a logo, creating an annual budget for the organisation, supporting the organisation’s IT needs, providing legal advice and many other skilled activities.
Volunteering is defined, by Volunteering Australia, as “…time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain”. Further, virtual volunteering is any volunteering activity that is conducted, in part or in whole, through the Internet, according to Cravens & Ellis 2014.
Only Community Admins for organisations can create projects and opportunities for their organisations. Community admins for an organisation can administer all projects and opportunities for that organisation.
Anyone and everyone can be a volunteer! As long as you’re willing to give to worthy causes that you care about, you can get involved. If you’re also a member of an organisation that needs volunteers, wants their staff to give back to the community or just want to encourage more volunteering and social impact, then Communiteer is for you.
Please let us know if you are having trouble accessing your account at support@communiteer.org.
To create a new project, go to your organisation page, click on the “+ Add Project” button. Please fill out all the fields on the page. The more detail that you can give your volunteers the better the outcomes of the project will be. Once you have created the project, go to the project page, click on the “Opportunities” tab and click the “+ Add Task” button to add tasks to the project.
If you need specific guidance from us, feel free to reach out to us at support@communiteer.org.
We will work with you to create impactful projects that are aligned to your organisation’s mission and meet your business needs. All projects will be uploaded to the platform, where they can be accessed by all volunteers.
Those volunteers who are interested can help you immediately by joining the project. You can then engage with these volunteers individually and at a project level.
If you need specific guidance from us, feel free to reach out to us at support@communiteer.org.
