Socialteering

Volunteer organizations are missing out with millenial volunteers. Many volunteer organizations are difficult to join and require long term time commitements.

Socialteering makes it easy for Nonprofits to curate one time social volunteering opportunities. Volunteers can sign up for events which are paired with a social activity. Example: Graffiti removal at Lowell School followed by coffee at Zoma
