Dynamic volunteering is not just a fancy word for flexible and short term volunteering. In my approach to volunteering it embodies and recognizes that flexibility, responsiveness, and collaboration as well as use of new technologies are essential for effectively addressing the diverse and evolving challenges faced by communities and by our society. I also truly believe that dynamic volunteering can be a great gateway to long term volunteering if done right.

Volunteering in the Age of AI refers to the evolving landscape of volunteerism influenced by advancements in artificial intelligence technology. This includes the ways AI can enhance volunteer efforts through better organization, data analysis, and outreach.
Yet it is so much more. My point of view is strongly directed to the fact that volunteering should be recognized as means of a transition into the Age of AI by helping people to define new meaning of human value and position in society, as a simulator of contributing to society without direct monetary transactions and for individuals to enhance their adaptability and skill set in a rapidly changing world.

Corporate volunteering refers to volunteer efforts often organized by companies where employees engage in community service activities, and it is crucial for me to work with the corporate world for these efforts to stay “volunteer” and don't become “voluntold”.
Corporate volunteering should aim to foster social responsibility and community engagement while enhancing company culture. It can be fantastic and strong tool which not only benefits the communities served but also enhances the workplace environment and strengthens the company's connection to social issues. Corporate volunteering has wast potential of real impact and should not be diminished to a number or photo op for ESG reporting.

As a sustainability expert I see how volunteering and sustainability are closely interconnected, with volunteer efforts playing a vital role in promoting environmental stewardship, social equity, and community/civilization resilience.
Volunteering serves as a powerful avenue for individuals to contribute positively to their environment and society while promoting sustainable practices and solutions. Studies show that every 7th person volunteers. Can you imagine the impact of a seven billion hours (when the volunteer just one hour), which is over 798 years(!) donated towards a sustainable development and improvement?
Volunteering & Sustainability
Volunteering and technology intersect in several impactful ways, transforming how volunteer efforts are organized, managed, and executed. From Online Platforms, Virtual Volunteering, Data Management and Analytics, Training and Education, Communication, AI and Automation to Community Engagement.
Overall, the integration of technology into volunteering enhances efficiency, broadens participation, and allows for innovative approaches to community service and engagement, making it easier for individuals to contribute their time and skills. My goal is to create volunteering ecosystem which will make participating in volunteering as easy as booking a hotel on booking.com.
