At 510, we embrace volunteerism. At present, over 50 individuals dedicate their precious time and efforts to voluntary service with us, providing remote support to emergency response operations, accelerating our projects and providing skills which complement those we have in-house. Our volunteers are experts in different areas, covering data science, geographic information system (GIS) and modelling, human-centered design, data analytics, translations, surge information management support (SIMS), software development, literature study, and data and digital responsibility.
“Volunteers are the heart of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement. At 510, we value the contributions volunteers make to our work, from emergency response to disaster preparedness. Their expertise, innovative ideas and flexibility push the boundaries of what we can do.”
