No Profit Challenge is an ambitious project, financed together with other 30 projects selected between more than 1000 submitted to "Con il sud che partecipa" initiative organized by Fondazione CON IL SUD (Foundation for Southern Italy) in 2017.
Based on a "socially friendly" portal and application for Android, it has the following features:
- 2 accounts: volunteer and organisation
- Volunteer comes in contact with nonprofit organisations and find out where to possibly offer their help on the basis of common interests
- The organisation publishes its "application for help" and the user chooses to participate by receiving an automatic matching notification
- Once the activities are completed, organisation and volunteer give mutual feedback to measure the impact of the initiative and certify the skills developed in the volunteers who took part
- When a feedback has been received, the volunteer's account updates with a history of all accumulated experiences, filterable by location, industry and skills developed
- The system automatically produces rankings of the “most active” volunteers and organisations and analytics useful to measure the social impact of the organisations
The goals are:
- Increase the visibility of ONPs and Volunteers and spread volunteering opportunities
- Making volunteering accessible and appealing especially among young people, so as to encourage their participation
- Encourage the process of recognition of Youth and Social Worker figures through a system of verification and certification of acquired skills
