You are a programmer
You are a web- or app- developer, a specialist in computer security, graphic designer, SEO-specialist or translator. If you want to share your time and experience with social initiatives you are a potential participant of volunteer movement.
You are an initiative
You are a leader of an initiative or a founder of a non-commercial project and your team lacks IT-knowledge for solving problems of your yard or town. In this case you are a potential consumer of volunteer services.
Meetup place — Digital Lab
The Digital Lab is a Falanster initiative. Its goal is to wake up the IT volunteer movement in Belarus. This is the place where:
- Social initiatives can ask for some digital help.
- IT volunteers can choose an interesting task for themselves, meet new people and get new experience.
