● Volunteers are motivated by altruistic concerns, they want to volunteer for the SBTF as they are passionate about the work that is carried out by the group and find it enjoyable.

● The SBTF is a place where volunteers can both put existing skills to good use whilst also gaining new skills.

● Aspects such as enhancing their CV and networking opportunities to progress one's career were seen as less important.



“To do something that means something to someone, that’s what made me finally do it”.

“[My] strongest motivation was to help really, but also to learn stuff”

“…you see some people’s profiles and there are some very skilled people there. When you see…[their profiles] that kind of reassures you as well, that this isn't you know messing around and playing with things, these are serious

people who are giving more time towards the same areas that they work in.”

Part of the Digital Humanitarian Network



The Power of Digital Volunteers

● People will use any available channel of communication to share and communicate their situation during crisis.

● The online crisis mapping community can help to turn these communications into data that are actionable for the humanitarian responders, both local and international.

● The volunteer crisis mapping community can respond to the demand of the traditional humanitarian responders who seek the ways to more effectively incorporate the community generated data into their standard operation procedures.

● Due to the increasing use of Social Media, V&TCs have to search ways on how to better combine their man-power with efficient and easy-to-use applications that allow to filter the content in a semi-automatic way.

● To pro-actively foster stronger partnerships and cooperation between V&TCs should be one of the main goals in order to learn form each other, to share data and information and to find the best way to contribute to humanitarian-related work.
