A clear purpose
Every request should have a practical AI goal and a personal or community benefit. Every volunteer should understand the help they are offering.
A community built with care
Good help begins
with shared trust.
Asking for help takes trust. So does giving your time. Here is what we check, what AI can tell us, and how you stay in control.
Time freely given
Agree on one manageable first step. There are no fees, sales pitches, recruitment funnels, or obligations to keep going. Either person can say no.
Care in both directions
Requesters and volunteers share the same responsibility to respect privacy, keep boundaries, and communicate when plans change.
For everyone here
A little context.
A clear agreement.
Google sign-in is required to participate. Your profile, purpose, and community pledge give a future collaborator context before you connect.
Tell us what would make a difference.
Share your AI question, who will benefit, and a small useful outcome. We check whether the request fits a voluntary, noncommercial community and help surface details that need clarifying.
Share your skills and your reason for helping.
Explain what you can help with, why the mission matters to you, and how you would respect another person’s privacy and your own time. A short introduction gives us more context.
Show the mission behind the request.
Describe your organization, your authority to request help, the people who benefit, and who will support the project. Organization registration, authority, and project suitability are separate checks.
AI helps us ask better questions
Your answers are evidence.
Your appearance is not.
AI helps summarize what you share and check AI relevance, mission fit, noncommercial purpose, manageable scope, and privacy boundaries. It can flag missing details and suggest a next step.
AI cannot know your hidden intentions or guarantee someone is honest. We do not use faces, expressions, accents, appearance, disability, or inferred personality to judge eligibility.
Understand the signals
A profile gives context.
It is not a guarantee.
We describe checks precisely so you can make your own informed choice about a connection.
- Google account connected
- The person controls the Google account used to sign in. This does not independently verify their real-world identity or intentions.
- Social or professional link provided
- A LinkedIn, Facebook, or other profile can provide context. A submitted link is self-reported; it does not establish ownership or an endorsement by that platform.
- Onboarding review
- A review concerns the answers and evidence submitted against community criteria. It is not a background check or a promise about future behavior.
- Organization information
- A website or registration number is supporting information. Only an explicitly completed registry check establishes that a registry record was checked.
Keep personal things personal
Share only what helps.
Your answers and permitted uploads are processed using Google Cloud and Vertex AI. Authorized community reviewers can see information that needs a human review.
Uploads are private and held for moderation before they can be used. A file passing a check is not a guarantee that every detail is accurate or appropriate to share.
Remove passwords, identity numbers, private records, and other people’s contact details. Only upload material you have permission to share.
Onboarding recordings are private to you and authorized reviewers. Uploaded files and their extracted transcripts expire after 30 days and are scheduled for deletion.
Written answers, transcript corrections you submit, and review decisions stay with your onboarding record. Recordings are not public profile videos.
A review can be wrong
You can ask us to look again.
If the review misses context or asks for clarification, return to your onboarding. You can correct your answers, resubmit, or request reconsideration.
A pending review is not a judgment of your character. We may need clearer evidence or a more manageable scope before a connection can begin.
Review your onboardingBefore you say yes
Agree on one useful first step.
Make the goal, time commitment, boundaries, and data permissions clear. Both people choose whether to connect. Further help is always a fresh, voluntary agreement.
