BEVOL Platform


Description

Bevol is an independent global social media platform that strives to spread the culture of volunteering and enhance social responsibility. Through the adoption of motivational means it also strives to consolidate noble human values and achieve peace and development in all human societies.

Non-profit organizations can announce through their Bevol account about the volunteering missions they need to implement their projects, whether these tasks are remotely or in person.

Bevol Platform provides each volunteer with their own personal account through which they can publish news and articles related to voluntary work. It also gives them the opportunity to search for voluntary work tailored around their areas of interests and based on several different filtering criteria.
When volunteers perform any voluntary task, they have the opportunity of accumulating points on their international volunteer card with its five categories - this card is provided by Bevol.
This card can then be used to obtain different discounts and benefits provided by the companies that wish to support volunteerism through the platform.

As for-profit companies, Bevol allows them to support volunteers by offering different services and discounts.

Bevol plays a significant role in raising awareness on the sustainable development goals and contributing to their achievement by linking each volunteering mission on the platform to the SDGs it contributes to.

In addition to the tens of thousands of volunteers from 175 countries around the world, Bevol is currently available in five languages and encompasses more than 2000 various institutions and companies. Furthermore, Bevol has won multiple international awards and has been officially recognized by many international organizations and federations as a social media platform specialized in community work, whereby these organizations have used Bevol platform’s icon on their websites alongside the icons of other International social media platforms.
