Contributor Skill Pool

Start your volunteering journey with Open Food Facts !



Hi there 👋


Looking to volunteer with Open Food Facts & contribute to greater food transparency? You've come to the right place :) 

Let us tell you more about it. 


What is the Open Food Facts Contributors Skill Pool ?


Because Open Food Facts is a community-based project, it's crucial to optimise the many talents in our community. The "pool" allows us to do just that by having a volunteer base that we can activate easily. 

All kinds of skills are needed: 

  • technical 
  • relational/network 
  • copywriting 
  • translation 
  • ..................... fill in the blank !

How often? 

Your contribution needs to fit into your schedule. So no stress if you can only help out punctually. It can also evolve over time: maybe you want to help with something else you're good at, or maybe you have more free time at the moment. Please talk with our community manager if you wish to make a change in your volunteering activity or if you have any questions: gala@openfoodfacts.org.

What can I expect? 

  • You'll be contributing to a project whose mission is to make the food landscape more transparent, to encourage better food choices for the health of the people and of the planet 🌍 ! 
  • Collaborating with a passion-lead, international community 🤝. 
  • Supported by team members: you don't have to be an expert in your skill and you will not be thrown into the deep end (we have various kits prepared (a sort of "Contributors' Toolbox") and we are more than happy to discuss your mission before your start it). 
  • Building your "volunteer experience" CV: a mechanism for dialogue and social intelligence where everyone can value the skills acquired during the volunteer experience 🌱. 
  • Trimestrial meet-ups to exchange with other active contributors and the core Open Food Facts team (online & in person) 🍻.
  • Annual Open Food Facts Days: a community event that consists of workshops, talks & convivial moments 🥳 !

 
Duration of the questionnaire: 3 minutes


Goal of the questionnaire: Learn about you (your interests, skills, time) to on-board you into the Contributors' Pool in the best way possible.
