Seeds for Change

Back

Hong Kong’s neediest groups rely heavily on the work of nonprofits or NGOs. However, we might not appreciate just how underfunded they are to help the poor, the sick and those most at risk. It is also easy to overlook the fact that nonprofits and NGOs depend on volunteers to manage and support their operations and events – and essentially help those who are least able to help themselves.

So who are these volunteers? Where do they come from? Firstly, they are and have always been one of the most important resources of NGOs. Secondly, volunteers are often the key for successful events and programmes. Yet due to a
lack of resources for publicity and promotion, the recruiting and retention of volunteers is a constant challenge for nonprofits. Therefore, we see a key need for an integrated platform to recruit and engage volunteers.

This situation is ripe for change. “Seeds for Change” aims to help recruit and engage volunteers through an online web platform to engage the community. Our application allows nonprofits to post their events and communicate with volunteers through the platform itself. More importantly, “Seeds for Change” also utilizes a smartphone applicationfor registered volunteers of the nonprofits to use. This allows nonprofits to
effectively reach out and engage youth volunteers.

We sincerely hope to enhance the capabilities of the 3rd Sector (nonprofits and Social Enterprises) in volunteer management to promote and grow the voluntarism scene in Hong Kong.
