IVolunteerNow: A new mobile app for volunteering is coming to Athens, Georgia.

IVolunteerNow, a mobile application owned by the tech-nonprofit IVolunteer International will be launched in late August this year at the University of Georgia’s Delta Innovation Hub in Athens, Georgia. Having won the University of Georgia Kickstarter Fund in 2022 and the Truist Community Pitch Event in 2023, the mobile app will make volunteering fun, easy, and equitable for people in Athens, Georgia. 

The app will be available for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play. It will identify the user’s live location and show them volunteer projects in their community. Users can simply sign-up to support their favorite nonprofits and causes by volunteering on-demand. Users can keep track of their future and past projects seamlessly and also share projects to volunteer together with friends and family.

Volunteering is at an all time low, but there has not been any intentional investment into the volunteering space from a tech perspective. People can’t easily find volunteer projects and even when they do, they don’t have a way to easily track their impact. We want to change this and democratize volunteerism”.

The launch of the mobile app will also jump start the organization’s “Mobilize Georgia” campaign. “We want to be the premier volunteer matching platform in Georgia in the next several years” said Ambanpola, alluding to the great economic and social benefits in having an engaged citizenry in Georgia. “We need to provide the tools for people to get engaged in their community in real-time.” 

IVolunteer International has big plans for their ecosystem. After the app launch, the nonprofit will work to launch IVolunteerGo, an enterprise software for nonprofits that is connected to the app and IVolunteerMap, a Georgia-wide database of volunteer mobility data accessible to researchers and public organizations from the app. To learn more about the app visit www.ivint.org/ivolunteernow.
