VoluLink Bridges IT Students, Companies, and Social Organizations

VoluLink, a unique platform, is bridging the gap between IT students, companies, and social organizations. It facilitates corporate volunteering, offering young talent purposeful challenges and the chance to make a societal impact. Companies, in turn, benefit from enhanced employer branding and employee skill development.

VoluLink projects mirror real-life IT projects in companies, enabling sustainable digital progress in social organizations. The platform matches IT students with specific projects from these organizations, guided by corporate mentors who bring technical knowledge, methodological competence, and practical experience. Students appreciate the practicality and direct contact with companies, often leading to long-term connections.

The concept behind VoluLink was born when its founder learned about the 'Pledge 1%' concept during a semester abroad in Sydney. This concept encourages companies to pledge 1% of employee time, equity, or product to improve communities. VoluLink takes this idea a step further by connecting the dots between IT students, companies, and social organizations. To become a strategic HR tool in Germany, corporate volunteering must be systematically integrated into HR strategies, professionalized, and supported by technical solutions.

VoluLink is transforming corporate volunteering into a win-win situation. It offers IT students purposeful challenges and the chance to make a societal impact, while companies enhance their employer branding and employee skill development. With structured projects and mentoring, VoluLink is not just a volunteering platform, but a bridge connecting three perspectives for sustainable digital progress.
