Assignment

1. Gamified Volunteer System
To increase volunteers in an NGO that provides teachers to children of migrant
workers in India

2. Aboutthe
Organization
 In October 2015, six of us got together to start our first
bridge Learning Centre at the Kodathi Higher Primary
Government School, off Sarjapur Road in Bangalore.
 Guided by the motto of inclusive education, of our alma
mater , the Azim Premji University (APU) we hit the
ground with a mix of understanding of Education,
experience and a deep commitment to the cause.
 We signed an MOU with the Karnataka Education
Department, admitting 25 'out of school' children and
their younger siblings from neighbouring construction
sites. The seed funding for this was provided by members
of the founding team and individual donors.
 We have touched more than 100 children since inception –
most from families of daily wage construction workers
from districts of Gulbarga and Raichur in North
Karnataka and some from Bihar and Assam. We have
mainstreamed around 20 children, into the Host
School,every academic year since.

3. OurMission
 And the mission continues...
 We started our second centre at the Sulikunte Lower
Primary Government School, a year and a half later in
August 2017, after our annual survey identified 50+ ‘out of
school’ children in settlements around Doddakanalli. This
deprived community of migrants from Andhra Pradesh,
lived here for years without accessing any school. Parents,
mostly contract sweepers and garbage loaders with the
city’s Municipal body BBMP were involved in gruelling
low skill jobs.
 Children from this location come to our centre every day
now, in a bus that we provide and engage meaningfully in
learning how to read, write and learning to learn.
 We mainstreamed 22 children to the Host Government
school in the academic year of June 2018.

4. Objective
 Increase participation from Society.
 Incentivize Educated individuals to particpate

5. SomeIdeas
 Rewards: External rewards like the possibility of
converting volunteered hours to points. These points
could be converted to currency and cashed in as ITR or
Income Tax Return points and provide rebate, just like
monetary contributions. This is difficult and would
require a policy change at the national level to view
volunteer hours as equal to financial aids

6. SomeIdeas
 Socializing: Create a volunteer community and meets
regularly and provide opportunities for get-togethers
and networking opportunities.

7. SomeIdeas
 Leader boards: Create and display leader boards and
rank volunteers based on the number of hours
contributed or student ratings.

8. SomeIdeas
 Level-up and badges: create a flow of levels for
volunteers to pass through. This could be in terms of
the grade taught or the number of students. Clearly
define the criteria for levelling up and provide titles or
badges for each level.
