Who we are

VOLUNTEER NOW – MAKING THE WORLD KINDER.
Volunteer Now is an online platform matching Volunteers with Causes.

READ OUR BLOG ON WHY VOLUNTEERS AS SO IMPORTANT AND HOW WE CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAMMES. THE VOLUNTEER NOW PLATFORM IS AVAILABLE TO CAUSES FOR FREE.

Volunteer service hours completed with any of our causes are verified. Verified hours count towards volunteer service required by most schools and tertiary institutions.

To have access to the platform as a Volunteer or a Cause you need to be registered and logged in.

Our approach

Register as a Cause

Volunteer Now gives registered Causes the chance to connect with Volunteers who want to offer their time, skills or goods to solve social problems and continue serving their communities.

In addition, the platform acts as a marketing platform, exposing the work that you’re doing.

Sell your products to our shop as a fundraiser or additional income. For more information please email [email protected] 

To get the most benefit out of the Volunteer Now platform – we ask our Causes to focus on creating opportunities for volunteers to participate in. It is important to maintain and add fresh content. More importantly, be responsive and engaged – that’s how you’ll achieve maximum impact from our platform.
