  • It wouldn’t be enough, unfortunately. The inquiries we get are all over the place. “I would love to do a couple hours on a Tuesday evening” and then “can I come in Saturday during the day?” Not enough to justify an off hours supervisor. It would basically be a full time employee but they’d work a super random schedule.

    The sad truth is that retirees tend to be the most reliable volunteers. Just because we get people interested doesn’t mean they stick around/come regularly. And I don’t blame them. I work full time and having to commit to something else after work seems daunting.


  • I work at a non-profit and it’s a shame. We get a lot of people asking for nights and weekends but it’s hard to coordinate volunteers then because our volunteer office is a 40 hour a week office. they aren’t around after hours to supervise volunteers, so we don’t really have volunteers then.

    With that being said, look into general volunteerism clubs, like Rotary. They often are geared towards people who work full time.












  • If I have valuable info and I want to share it in a controlled way, I can use an API. If i am an airline, I could spit out a feed that tells you a list of flights and how delayed they are. If im Reddit, I can share posts, comments, etc.

    Anyone (in the case of a free API) can take the data the API spits out and make their own app with it. But if you charge for API access, then someone would have to pay to make an app with your information.
