This document introduces The Extraordinaries, a platform for micro-volunteerism that allows people to volunteer small amounts of spare time using their mobile devices. It notes that most Americans cite lack of time as the reason they do not volunteer traditionally, but people have billions of hours of spare time in short moments. The Extraordinaries aims to crowdsource these brief moments by turning mobile devices into tools for social good. It has won several awards and aims to increase nonprofit capacity by powering initiatives in areas like medicine, advocacy, and government with crowd contributions.
