When looking at a volunteer organization, certain questions need to be asked:

  • How easy is it for an outsider to join and start contributing?
  • Is it non-profit?
  • What are their goals?
  • What is their place in the volunteer scene? In other words what is their focus?
  • What are their current activities? Are they active in providing updates about what's going on?
  • What kind of work has been completed/in-progress?
  • Do they have a Wikipedia page and coverage on any news websites?
  • Is their work limited to a certain geographic region or is it global in nature?

Javul.org needs to support these existing initiatives. We are interested in what has been achieved and how we can assist:

  • Progressive International - ""Progressive International is created "to mobilize people around the world to transform the global order and the institutions that shape it". -- Its not clear what their actual plan is as they currently just have a donation page and a Call to action which can be signed. It is hoped that they will advance in their goals.
  • The Venus Project - "The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but as totally unacceptable."
  • Open Government Partnership - "Open Government Partnership brings together government reformers and civil society leaders to create action plans that make governments more inclusive, responsive and accountable."
  • Centre for Law and Democracy - "The Centre for Law and Democracy believes in a world in which robust respect for all human rights underpins strong participatory democracy at all levels of governance – local, national, regional and international – leading to social justice and equality."
  • Centre for Social innovation - The link is listed here however please be aware that they ask for paid memberships - "The Centre for Social Innovation is a social enterprise based in Toronto, Canada, that specializes in the creation of shared workspaces for people or organizations with a social mission."
