I am a startup founder. My company is starting to work well by itself - I have about one full free day per week. My skills are team building, start-up building, remote team building, and software development.

There's also this Facebook group for EA volunteering https://www.facebook.com/groups/1392613437498240
You could also try things like applying to EAGx Virtual and try to find out about projects by just asking people.
Thanks a lot! I will check this out.
Good on you for taking on more work and trying to figure out how you can best contribute to the world :-) It might be easier for us to share opportunities with you if we know what cause areas are important to you and which skills/prior experience you have. Feel free to let us know!
Hello! Somehow I missed that. Apologies! I have skills in: team building, remote work, startup building, software development, and a bit on mental health / men's groups. My important cause areas are mental health and food-related impact. Thanks! 🙏
