Jaagore.com has different solutions for all users who want to get informed and connected on issues related to ‘Social Well-being’ in our country. The four main sections on the portal are – Act, Speak up, Learn and Connect. The first of these four sections is called ‘Volunteer’ which hosts a bank of live volunteering opportunities posted by various NGO’s (Non-governmental organizations) who are registered on the portal. You could view this section at www.jaagore.com/volunteer .
‘Act’ section enables citizens to convert their intent of contributing to social causes to reality. This section is a pool of active projects being run by various NGO’s in different parts of the country which requires volunteer assistance and support. Currently more than 280 volunteering projects are being featured in this section which users could opt for. Even users who are not registered on the portal are encouraged to get connected with NGO’s projects they may be interested in contributing to.
‘Volunteer’ section simplifies the user search for a suitable NGO project or opportunity with the help of different ‘Search’ options. A user could filter the projects by relevant fields like ‘ Issues’ which gives a list of various issues that are featured currently on the portal. The second search filter is ‘City’ where user can select the location where they are interested in. The third option is the ‘NGO name’ by which user can specifically search for an NGO of choice. The last, but not the least, is the filter of ‘Date’ where user gets to search for work of specific dates like holidays or weekends.
The main page of this section features 10 projects from the project pool which get selected dynamically. The users can view all the projects by clicking on ‘View all’ where the information is displayed page-wise chronologically. Each project listing carries the gist of information like Issue category, Location, Dates and a brief description.
Each project listing has three options for the users – NGO Profile, Project details and Volunteer. ‘NGO profile’ links to the profile page of the contributing NGO while the ‘Project details’ links to the project description page. The ‘Volunteer’ tab links to the page where a user can submit cursory details and thereby a notification gets sent to both the NGO and the user alerting the NGO of the user interest to volunteer for the chosen project.
Users can choose the projects not only basis the Issue or the City but also basis if the work is based at the NGO office or could be completed at the user location. Volunteer contribution is keenly desired by NGO’s for skilled projects like Website management, Corporate presentation-making, Fund-raising etc. Other volunteers who wish to have a real-time experience of NGO operations could opt for projects being conducted at the NGO location.
