About us

Hi,
We are letsact!

At a time when anyone can book someone else's apartment or taxi with one click, you should be able to make a social impact just as easily. As a non-profit association, we work on this every day. Welcome to letsact!

OUR PURPOSE

Enabling people to do more good.

Our platform makes it simple for everyone to contribute their time and talents where they matter most. We stand for a culture of action and solidarity—making real, sustainable change possible.Who are we? A remote-first team with main offices in Berlin and Munich. Our passionate employees are dedicated to the cause of volunteer engagement and support the big vision of letsact: connecting people globally to do more good.

Our story

The way up here

We started our beta phase in Munich in August 2018. As “Tinder for Volunteering”, we quickly made headlines and developed into the largest volunteering app in Germany with thousands of volunteers and organizations that rely on us.

We run the free platform including the letsact app as a non-profit association and thus finance ourselves through funding, donations and sponsors.

OUR CULTURE

What we believe in matters

Try new and make
Things Happen

They say that there's no shame in failing, the shame is in not trying. We believe this is the best approach to building a successful, open-minded team. The confidence to take ownership and question the status quo are essential to the workplace we want to build.

Honesty and Kindness
Always win

A culture of feedback needs a foundation of kindness. We believe that openness and transparency promotes the exchange of constructive two-way feedback that helps to build a better workplace and happier team members.

Keep an open mind

We're flexible and give our team a lot of freedom, starting from choosing a place and time for work, to encouraging new skills, even beyond the scope of daily routines. Believe it or not, this can be a challenge because being independent means taking responsibility for your own decisions and actions.

Celebrate diversity,
Focus on Inclusion

We've always wanted to go beyond creating a product to building a culture that's open, free, creative, bold, safe and easy-going for everyone. Not just a great workplace for employees, but for people. Our doors are wide open to everyone who wants to create good things, develop this place and be at home. Be yourself.

letsact is a prime example of a platform that simply brings together helpers and people seeking help across Germany. Especially in the current situation, life can be saved.

DOROTHEE BEAR, Former Minister of State for Digitalization

(I think it's) a really cool way to show social commitment and in return when you want to do something good but don't know exactly what.

Marie Johnson, @mariejohnson

Social commitment is very important. Giving back and helping young people complete vocational training and provide for themselves and their families later on.
