Are you working on a sustainable project in your community? And looking for extra skills, some extra pair of hands or brains? Upload your happening in the app! Whether you need on-the-ground assistance or remote support, the Local Happinez community is ready to step in. Connect with skilled fellows, wherever you are.
No requests for money
Happenings have a need for hands, skills and expertise. Requests for financial support are not admitted.
Well-being of vulnerable groups
The well-being of children, animals and other vulnerable groups is unquestioned. Orphanages, animal tourist initiatives are among those that are not admitted to the platform.
Presence local stewards
Every happening requires one or more stewards to be present at the location for instructions and personal meet when a fellow comes to assist.
In case of happenings with vulnerable groups a steward needs to be in the vicinity of the fellow at all times.
Communication
Before working together, contact takes place via our app. A chat function is available between local stewards and fellows.
Local stewards must frequently check the app for new chats, join requests, and other information.
No replacements of local jobs
Our platform enables local communities and NPOs to ask for help where they cannot find it locally. Support should never come at the expense of opportunities for local citizens.
No profit-driven organisations
We do not allow profit-driven companies or commercial activities like ticket sales and paid tours on our platform
No accommodation
We do not encourage members to travel, but to give back wherever they are. This means that local stewards are not allowed to offer free accommodation.
Sustainable happenings
The nature of each project is related to a minimum of one of the goals of the United Nations (SDG).

Location and duration

Happenings can take place online, remote, and on-site.
Reciprocity
We all learn from one another, and that’s why we believe that helping each other out, picking up local habits, and getting to know the people around us is something that benefits everyone!
