    • Develop new features using Flutter and Dart.
    • Contribute to clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
    • Collaborate with other volunteers through GitLab.
    • Participate in code reviews and testing.
    • Help improve the user experience and platform performance.
    • Attend occasional online team meetings.
    • Support the development of a secure, scalable digital platform.

    We welcome volunteers with experience or interest in:

    • Flutter
    • Dart
    • Firebase
    • Mobile App Development
    • UI/UX Design
    • Quality Assurance & Testing
    • Git/GitLab
    • Technical Documentation
    • API Integration

    Don't worry if you don't meet every requirement—we value enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and commitment to our mission.

    What You'll Gain

    • Experience contributing to a real-world nonprofit technology project.
    • Collaboration with an international volunteer team.
    • Opportunities to build your portfolio and strengthen your technical skills.
    • Mentorship through peer collaboration and code reviews.
    • Recognition for meaningful contributions.
    • A Volunteer Service Certificate for eligible contributors.
    • The opportunity to help improve access to community mental health services across Africa.

    How We Work

    Development is managed through GitLab using feature branches and merge requests. Production systems are protected, and contributors work through a structured review process to ensure quality and security.

    If you are passionate about using technology to create positive social impact, we would love to hear from you.
