By people, for people
Voluntino is not run by a company but is a private project from Vienna. Many people would like to help but don’t know where – or have never been asked. Voluntino invites them: free, without an account and in five languages, so everyone can take part, wherever they come from.
Who is behind Voluntino
Many years ago, people in Austria helped me even though they did not know me. Today I want to give something back – including to people I may never meet.
Mohi came to Vienna as a student in 2013. He also founded Vorrio, a free app for emergency supplies. He tells his story on vorrioapp.com.
Frequently asked questions
Does Voluntino cost anything?
No. Voluntino is free and needs no account.
Where do the programs come from?
From the public information pages of well-known Viennese organisations. We write the descriptions ourselves in plain language. Every week an automatic check makes sure the pages are still right; anything that may not be right is not shown.
Does Voluntino sign me up?
No. Voluntino is a bridge: one tap opens the organisation’s sign-up page. Voluntino passes on no data.
I don’t live in Vienna.
Voluntino starts in Vienna. For the other federal states, the app shows the matching volunteer portals.
