Volunteering

Help us inspire the next generation of social innovators! 

"Interaction between students and volunteers is beneficial for both sides, it helps us to socialize differently, to exchange knowledge and inspires us to be brave and get involved." -Denisa Macovei, NN Romania

Many volunteering opportunities exist within the three different activities in the JA Europe and NN Group partnership. These activities are exclusive to one another. Some participating countries may solely implement a Social Innovation Camp or the Social Innovation Relay, for instance. 

Activity Role Description

Case study facilitator

Case studies introduce students to the concept of Social Innovation via school outreach. This activity is led by NN business volunteers, and it could be virtual or classroom based.

If you are a volunteer that is involved in the case study activity, please register on the platform, and select this role for your profile. The timelines of the case study implementation needs to be discussed and agreed with the JA National Coordinator. 

Social Innovation Relay

E-mentor

The E-mentor role is to guide the teams that make it to the Top 20 teams in the Social Innovation Relay. At this moment in the competition students work within their team to further develop their social innovation into a concept paper. The concept paper includes more specific details of their idea, concrete information regarding the target market, the social impact, the financials, the expected results, etc. The concept paper will be available on the platform for the Top 20 teams.

E-judge

The E-judges are the NN volunteers involved in the final phase of the competition at the national level. Your role is divided in parts: first you need to evaluate the concept paper of the Top 20 teams, based on which the Top 10 will be identified automatically by the platform; the Top 10 teams will be invited to participate in the National Final, where you will be again a judge.
