Why Volunteering Matters

Volunteering plays a vital role in strengthening the social impact ecosystem. It allows individuals to contribute their time, skills, and passion to meaningful causes, while helping organisations expand their programs, bring in specialised expertise, and deepen community engagement. Volunteers add fresh ideas, diverse perspectives, and creative problem-solving—assets that enrich development work in every sector.

I-EMeRG provides a dedicated space where organisations can share volunteer needs and where individuals interested in contributing to social development can discover opportunities that match their skills, interests, and availability.

How It Works

Volunteer Opportunities Posted by NGOs

Organizations publish structured volunteer opportunities that clearly describe the support they need, making it easier for volunteers to find roles that align with their skills, interests, and availability. Organizations list their volunteer requirements with details such as:

  • Role description
  • Required skills
  • Duration and time commitment
  • Location or remote options

Volunteer Profiles Created by Individuals

Volunteers create a simple profile outlining their interests, skills, and availability, helping organisations understand the kind of support they can offer. Profiles typically include:

  • Skill areas (communications, research, IT, field support, design, etc.)
  • Interests or thematic preferences
  • Availability (hours per week, short-term/long-term)
  • Preferred mode (remote, hybrid, on-ground)
  • Relevant experience or background

Matching & Connection

Volunteers explore available roles based on their interests, skills, and location. Applications go directly to the organisation offering the opportunity. Organisations may also reach out to volunteers registered on the platform.

Independent Engagement

Engagement, selection, onboarding, and supervision take place directly between the organisation and the volunteer. Roles, expectations, and timelines are managed independently by both parties. All recruitment, onboarding, supervision, and engagement responsibilities rest solely with the volunteer and the respective NGO. The platform functions as a connector and enabler, not as an intermediary.
