• Collect and structure data in Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion
• Tag and categorize organizations by focus area, geography, scale, and potential relevance
• Help prototype a living, searchable ecosystem database
• (Optional) Explore lightweight web scraping, API data collection, or AI-assisted research
• Identify gaps, patterns, and opportunities in the ecosystem over time
  
  

Who You Are

• Strong researcher, information analyst, or digital explorer
• Detail-oriented and organized
• Comfortable using spreadsheets, Airtable, or lightweight databases
• Bonus Experience with data scraping, APIs, or structured data management
• Bonus Interest in sustainability, global development, or social impact tech
• Curious, collaborative, and proactive
  
  

Why Volunteer With Us
