I volunteer

Whoa. Look what you found.

Somebody sent you a link. You tapped a Saturday, or claimed a job, or typed a word into a cloud on a screen, and it just worked. No account, no app, no ads. Here is the part nobody told you: the company that made it runs on the same idea as the crew you were standing in.

Neeri the river otter, arms wide, shouting with joy

What you were part of

This one is a river cleanup. Yours might be a food bank, a choir, a congregation, a trail crew. Same Saturday, different mud.

  1. Last Tuesday

    You tapped a Saturday

    A link in the group chat. You tapped the weekends you could do and closed it. That was the whole sign-up. Nobody made you create anything, and nobody will email you about it later.

  2. Wednesday

    You grabbed a kayak seat

    Two seats, and you got one. Somebody else got the truck. The jobs had caps, so they filled themselves, and the organizer got to spend Wednesday night not chasing anyone.

  3. Saturday, lunch

    You found out who made it

    Sandwiches on the rocks, and someone says the tools are from a tiny company that gives its profits after fair pay to charity, pays nobody more than three times anyone else, and doesn't buy ads. It is counting on people like you telling people like your organizer. That is the whole plan. You are, right now, the plan.

Pass it on

Send this to whoever wrangles your group's schedule. The note is written; change anything you like.

Hey! The thing we used to pick the date and sign up for jobs is from shatuga.com. Free, no ads, no logins for the group, and the company gives its profits after fair pay to charity. Worth a look for the next one: https://shatuga.com/nonprofits

Shatuga is a very small company. Here's Mars, the person behind it, in case you want to put a face to the otter.

Or make one yourself.

If you have just realized that you are, in fact, the organizer: the crew's page shows how the week goes.
