IT volunteers

 

IT volunteers bring charities and non profit organisations to existence online. They are central to ensuring all systems are a go. Without them, we wouldn’t have the hardware we’d need to connect with our colleagues, the software to do our job or the operating systems to do our daily tasks. That’s where IT volunteering comes in. 

IT volunteering that makes a real difference

IT volunteers connect teams with the right technology. They are the tech superheroes who ensure our data is safe from hackers. They manage the provider that powers our inboxes. They’re the ones who run to our rescue when we ring them in a panic about login issues. Every organisation needs a go-to for IT issues but the charities and non profit organisations we work with have limited resources and support. That’s where information technology volunteering comes in. 

There’s a reason why so many people have their IT colleagues on speed dial. They help run the show behind the scenes. Information technology volunteering involves the use of computers and networking. In layman’s terms, it deals with the exchange of data on multiple layers:

  • Hardware,

  • Software,

  • Operating systems, 

  • Virtualisation and automation. 

With Vollie, you can help the causes you love stay connected. Since all projects are online, you can offer your help from the other side of the world. At Vollie, we believe in volunteering without borders. All of our projects are online, in your own time. It means you can fight for the causes you’re passionate about from your pjs. 

Information Technology volunteering that works around your schedule

Thanks to technology, IT is the engine that runs most charities and non profit organisations. As IT professionals, information technology volunteers help charities and no profit organisations connect with an audience who shares the same passion for change. 

If you’re a change maker with  IT experience and great communication skills, there is no shortage of projects looking for someone like you. Our IT volunteers have worked on a range of projects:

  • Software development

  • Application management

  • Managing hardware components

  • Offering technical support

  • Acting as primary administrator

  • Establishing network architecture. 

If you’re a team player looking to make a change in the world, information technology volunteering might be a great match for you. IT volunteering looks to people with technical skills but you’ll also need the soft skills to make the IT magic happen. These include communication, problem-solving, planning and organisation skills.
