Welcome to Voluntree!
A community skill- and knowledge-sharing platform
Tell Me More

The Platform

Voluntree is a skill- and knowledge-sharing platform with a difference. Totally transparent, directly democratic, and free to use, Voluntree will enable you to help your community, build your reputation and learn some brand new skills! Built on a commitment to the idea that social exchange has real material value, Voluntree is a social experiment platform that challenges the conventional capitalist business structures. Our team and platform volunteers have no strict working hours, they choose when and how much they want to work, and each have an equal opportunity to contribute to the evolution of the platform. The end goal of this project is to find out whether we can create a community-led platform where participants are happy to be awarded in oxytocin instead of money and have a full, direct and democratic control over their local community budget.

Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of the platform: they're the ones that volunteer their skills and time to the community.

As a volunteer, you can:

  • Offer your skills and services: whatever you can do, if people can learn it, you can advertise it here.
  • Choose when, where, and how much time to volunteer: whether you want to help people in your local community, or offer your help globally, you decide.
  • Get good feels from helping out which will help to improve the world and how you feel about it.

Users

Users are the main beneficiaries of the platform: they're the ones receiving the support, knowledge and skills, totally free.

As a user you can:

  • Learn new things for free: develop your abilities and connect to a community of likeminded people.
  • Give feedback: help us to build a totally transparent system by leaving ratings and reviews for volunteers.
  • Get good feelings from working together: develop the skills to be where you want to be in the world, and feel secure knowing that community members are there to help each other out.

Sponsors

Sponsors are community members and companies that support the work of volunteers through regular monthly donations of as little as £1.

As a sponsor you can:

  • Build your brand reputation by visibly participating in a charitable skill sharing platform.
  • Participate in a transparent, direct-democratic system where everyone gets equal influence.
  • Feel good as you watch your community evolve and grow.

Our Team

We are a group of full-time employed young professionals. Our work on this platform happens in our free time and is totally voluntary. It is our dream that the platform itself is run by part-time volunteers just like the volunteers running workshops on the platform.
