EDACT - EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT ACTION

A Shared System, Not A Program

Connect People. Share Skills. Multiply Impact.

The EDACT Volunteer Exchange turns willing people into organized community capacity — recruited, prepared, matched, managed, and recognized. It's the engine that puts skilled volunteers to work across all three EDACT programs, connecting them to trusted partner organizations when appropriate.

Volunteer roles are matched individually to your skills, availability, and language — tell us about yourself below and we'll follow up personally rather than dropping you into a generic sign-up list.

Who Can Volunteer

Skills Of Every Kind Are Needed.

EDACT places skills-based volunteers, interns, and partners across every part of the organization — not just event-day help.

How Volunteering Works

Recruit. Prepare. Match. Serve. Recognize.

Recruit

You tell us your skills, interests, availability, and language — we recruit through EDACT, partners, employers, and community networks.

Prepare

Orientation, role expectations, EDACT Academy learning, agreements, and safety guidance — plus screening where a role requires it.

Match

We match your skills, interests, language, location, and availability to a real project, and assign your role.

Serve

You do the work — scheduled, with clear tasks and reminders, not an open-ended favor.

Recognize

Your hours, projects, and outcomes are tracked — with references, certificates, and appreciation for what you contributed.

A System, Not A Signup Form

What The Exchange Does.

Recruitment & Volunteer Profiles

Published opportunities, skills profiles, and recruitment through EDACT, partners, employers, schools, and community networks.

Onboarding, Training & Screening

Orientation, role expectations, EDACT Academy learning, agreements, safety guidance, and role-based screening.

Skills Matching & Scheduling

Skills, interests, language, location, and availability matched to real projects, with tasks and reminders handled for you.

Partner Volunteer Sharing

Approved organizations may request eligible volunteers through permission-based workflows — only with your knowledge and consent.

Service Records & Recognition

Hours, projects, milestones, outcomes, references, and certificates — tracked for retention and re-engagement, not lost after one shift.

One System. Three Programs.

Your Skills Power All Three Programs.

Economic Empowerment

Skills-based volunteers support planning, finance, branding, technology, fundraising, mentoring, and project implementation.

Trust & Privacy Standard

“Volunteer profiles are not a list to distribute. Sharing requires clear consent, role-based partner access, privacy protection, appropriate screening, and written expectations for how partner organizations may contact and manage volunteers.”

For Partner Organizations

Access Volunteers Through The Exchange.

Approved organizations can request eligible volunteers through permission-based workflows — with role-based access, consent requirements, and written expectations for how volunteers are contacted and managed.

Ready When You Are
