While currently, there are no volunteer opportunities at PWX, below are a list of opportunities we foresee. As we find that we need help and also have the resources to manage the help offered, we will be posting requests.

We are planning to add and release several features to PWX and will need to enlist volunteers to test the functionality. Currently, no testing is going on.

Some of our partners and future partners will be seeking help on their applications for funding. It may be translation issues or issues around developing and uploading budget spreadsheets or cropping and uploading pictures. There are no requests for help currently.

We want to understand the long-term impacts of PWX projects. At PWX, the projects do not end with the ribbon-cutting ceremony! We want to know whether the project is alive and in what form is it working years afer the project implementation phase is over.

By introducing an impact assessment phase we hope to learn how the work evolves. If it continues as planned or changes direction or stops, we want to share the information with the world. Failures are generally not reported, since the funder and implementer bear the share of blame. Our peer process does not lay blame, but seeks to learn from failures, which are often not the doing of the implementer or funder. It is generally known that the majority of projects fail, but also generally accepted that these failures are not looked into. PWX wants to learn from failures and share those learnings.

When we scale up we welcome groups and individuals to visit projects, to learn about our partners and their work, take pictures, and sample water quality among other tasks. This will make our work more participatory and provide some independent observations. PWX has just introduced functionality for reporting the impact of projects and we will continue to enhance this functionality.
