Help us build a platform that connects corporate volunteer time with classrooms to teach science, technology, engineering, entrepreneurship, arts and design with the help of engaging content supplied by New Zealand’s leading innovators in educational content.
Voluntari.ly is based in Auckland, New Zealand and while we want to build a global support community it will be easiest to participate in our regular hackathons and code sprints if you are nearby.
This is an open source project all code and documentation is freely available.
To build this product we need all kinds of help including
- System and Business Analysts
- Designers
- Front end developers (Javascript + framework )
- Back end developers ( still deciding - python or nodejs perhaps )
- QA - writing automated test coverage and manual testing
- Dev/Ops - building our CI/CD and cloud deployment platform.
- Source Code is on GitHub
- Documentation: Confluence
- Tickets: Jira
- Communications: Slack Contributors Channel

Key engineers (developers, BA, architects, QA, devops) who are helping to establish the product as an effective open source platform.
This group will help us setup the project, decide on the software stack and tools, act as the technical advisory group and help with integration and developing feature stories. You'll also help mentor the contributing engineers and lead groups in the code sprints.
Anyone can join this group but we are looking for some industry experience and being prepared to commit some sustained time the the project over the first year. Ideally the company that you work for can also support donating some of your time to the project.
Please get in touch at kiaora@volutari.ly
If you don't have the time, or don't feel you have the experience to join the foundation engineers then you can still support the project.
- Attend a Hackathon
- Join a code sprint
- fix bugs
- write tests
- even just try out the system and feed back observations and ideas.
Please get in touch at kiaora@volutari.ly
Once Voluntari.ly is up and running we will post opportunities to help develop the platform there. You can simply sign up as a volunteer and offer your help for a specific opportunity.
