How Freunde Waldorf and globalsoft created a smart, user-centric platform for onboarding volunteers around the world
SCROLL FOR MORE
Freunde Waldorf is a globally recognized organization that coordinates volunteering programs based on the values of Waldorf education.
Each year, thousands of young people apply for a year of service in various parts of the world.
But their digital journey didn’t reflect the transformative nature of the volunteering experience.
The registration process was outdated, scattered across various touchpoints, and lacked user guidance. Applicants often got lost, host organizations received incomplete applications, and internal processing took unnecessary time and effort.
Freunde Waldorf needed a complete overhaul: a user-centric, streamlined, and reliable digital flow that matched the emotional and practical importance of a volunteer’s first steps.
The organization envisioned a central platform that:
They didn’t just want a website. They needed a flow that mirrors the journey of becoming a volunteer. That’s where globalsoft came in.
From the very first conversation, We were clear with our mission goal: create a meaningful digital journey that serves both the applicant and
the host organization.
We worked not only as tech implementers, but as strategic partners who understood the educational philosophy and human-centered approach behind every requirement.
With every feature we:
Based on structured input, the system automatically generates a formatted CV. Host organizations now receive complete, uniform and professional documentation.
An engaging and interactive world map allows volunteers to explore host organizations by country, category, language, and many other criteria.. It makes dreaming and deciding easier.
Applicants can apply to multiple organizations with a single click, and host organizations receive structured, standardized applications that speed up their evaluation process.
We designed a guided registration flow that helps users feel confident at every step. From initial interest to completed application, the system provides feedback, reminders, and clarity.
The platform is GDPR-compliant, built using secure coding practices, and prepared to scale with future growth of the program.
This project with the Freunde Waldorf has been a great experience so far and promises to get even better. It has been a dive into a industry and sphere of life that has been unknown to me and has been both an opportunity to learn something new as well as an chance to show our experience and expertise from other fields. Knowing that we are doing our part in a large story - connecting young people with chance to volunteer and help others all around the world - has been a reward in and of itself. I'm blessed to be part of this team and this collaboration and I am eager for us to go even further.
