About the volunteering opportunity

Chancenbuddy gUG is a non-profit organization that campaigns for greater educational equality in Germany. Our aim is to make it easier for young people to access suitable support services - regardless of their social or financial situation.
To this end, we are developing a digital platform that connects students and supporters in an innovative way. Our team consists of young professionals from the fields of education, psychology, AI, UI/UX and communication.

Your Tasks

As a volunteer web developer (fullstack) at Chancenbuddy gUG, you will support us in the revision and technical development of our new website. This forms the heart of our work by enabling the matching between young people and support offers.

Your tasks include:
  • Designing, programming and optimizing our web-based platform
  • Implementing an existing prototype and developing new functions
  • Ensuring a modern, responsive and accessible user interface
  • Collaboration with our interdisciplinary team (UI/UX, education, AI)

The work is voluntary and can be done remotely. The scope of time is flexible. The goal is to launch the new website by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
