As many as 58% of organizations say that technological development will challenge their organizations to a great extent. Digitization is therefore important for voluntary organizations regarding communication, member management and activity.
Recruitment is one of the biggest challenges in volunteering. There is a lack of digital tools for recruitment, where recruitment largely takes place through networks. Surveys show that 77% have never been attempted to be recruited to do voluntary work. Of the 77%, as many as 59% say that they could imagine doing voluntary work.
Immigrants, newcomers and others are outside the scope of volunteering. Studies of immigrants’ participation in voluntary organizations have found that a lack of networks and knowledge about how to get into voluntary work is a key barrier to increased participation!
The same survey also shows that 71% think it should be easier for children and young people to find leisure activities to participate in.
We at Frivi want to do something about these numbers. Through technological innovation, we have created what we believe is the ultimate interaction tool for voluntary organizations in Norway.
