This is not a paid position, but rather a volunteering opportunity to apply your tech skills to creating software that will change lives!


More than ever, NGOs need tech support to continue their missions. With deploy(impact), you can make a difference. Develop software with a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and remote team from requirements to proof of concept directly with a project owner that needs your help!

Participation will be remote and will require 15 dedicated hours per week.


There are only 60 spots available and the selection process is on a rolling basis, so make sure you apply soon!
