The Eco Connect Mission

Our mission is to get every Port Phillip resident involved in the sustainable living and climate action community. From volunteering for local groups, living more sustainably, or finding ways to recycle better, we are here to help people connect to, and support the wonderful, vibrant Port Phillip eco community.

66%

of volunteers stopped
volunteering during
the pandemic

This amounts to an estimated loss of 12.2 million hours per week of volunteer work. This decline has had a profound and ongoing impact across the sector.

A location based volunteer directory makes a lot of sense and allows organisations to link up with volunteers

4/5

people volunteer from
home or in their local
(geographic) community.

87%

recruit volunteers
through word of
mouth

This strategy is perfectly backed up by a strong online presence as 67% of organisations recruit through their website on social media

As the climate emergency accelerates we need to build and nurture resilient communities.

Less cars, more community

As Eco Connect grows we’ll be exploring how maps communicate place. From bike paths and public transport to parks and community resources. We want to make everything you need to live sustainably and participate in your community easy to find.
