N2 - Voluntary engagement is an indispensable cornerstone of Critical Infrastructures (CI) such as civil protection, disaster, crisis and rescue management, health and social services, or harvests and food supply. Sustainability of the voluntary sector, however, is massively endangered by profound changes in demography, social structure, and volunteer motives in the sense of individualization and pluralization of society. This article tackles these key challenges by proposing a digital platform for goal-oriented volunteering across and independently of different non-profit organizations. This platform is intended to be a first step in synergistically aligning the goals and competencies of volunteers with the activity requirements to strengthen CI.
