The volunteer platform digital.verein.t brings a digital networking platform to Otterbach-Otterberg to strengthen volunteer engagement in the region. Based on an open-source solution, the platform improves the visibility of clubs, facilitates communication, and promotes exchange among volunteers. Integration into the municipality's existing digital structures creates a central contact point for volunteers. The platform offers functions such as group and club profiles, event organization, and digital administration tools. The project is publicly funded as part of the "Shaping the Region" program and builds on the successful model project "Herzberg digital.verein.t." The goal is a sustainable, networked volunteer landscape that supports both existing and new initiatives and strengthens the community in Otterbach-Otterberg.

Volunteering is a central component of social life in Otterbach-Otterberg. Numerous clubs, groups, and committed citizens contribute to cultural and social diversity. However, many volunteers face challenges such as declining membership numbers, increased administrative burdens, and a lack of digital infrastructure.

To address these problems, a modern digital platform is being developed that will better connect clubs and initiatives and facilitate exchange.

The volunteer platform digital.verein.t is based on an open-source solution and will be integrated into the existing digital structures of the Otterbach-Otterberg municipality. The goal is:

To create a central contact point for volunteers

To make clubs and initiatives visible

To facilitate internal and external communication

Improve event management and networking

To attract new volunteers

The project is based on previously successful implementations such as the model project "Herzberg digital.verein.t" and will be adapted to the specific needs of Otterbach-Otterberg.
