Free For Charity Volunteer Options

Free For Charity is always looking for motivated and skilled people from around the US to help guide and participate in our training programs and direct support to charities.

You can help in the following ways:

IMPORTANT: A Prerequisite for All Applicants

To ensure the highest standards of security and competence for the non-profits we serve, all prospective volunteers must first complete our Core Competencies Training Program. This mandatory first step is our “proving ground” and ensures you have the foundational skills needed to succeed.

After you have successfully completed the training and received your certificate, you may then apply for one of the specific roles listed below.

Volunteer Roles We’re Seeking

Our biggest need is building free charity websites with AI development agents—but we staff every part of a nonprofit’s technology: Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace administration, data & analytics, design, and the people who recruit and onboard volunteers. Most roles have full details and a free training track on the FFC Admin portal, and every one links to an application on Idealist. Pick the one that fits you—then complete the Core Competencies prerequisite above to get started.

Most needed

AI-Assisted Web Developers

Build fast, secure GitHub Pages websites for nonprofits using AI development agents (Claude and GitHub Copilot) with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS. This is our largest and fastest-growing volunteer workflow—every site you help ship puts another charity online for free.

Build & run charity technology

Microsoft 365 Administrator

Run email, identity, and security for charities—and earn the AB-900 Microsoft 365 fundamentals certification (FFC sponsors the exam).

Google Workspace Administrator

Provision users, drives, and security controls, and support charity staff across Google Workspace.

Data & Analytics

Measure impact with consent-gated analytics, dashboards, and on-page SEO alongside the web team.

You can create a measurable impact to the success of charities nation wide with your donation or volunteer hours.

Every organizations success ultimately falls down to how much support the organization received for its causes. Here at Free For Charity it is our mission to provide world class training programs that at the same time help charities throughout the United States.

We cannot do the work we do without your support.
