Where do you find NGOs/projects that you can volunteer your tech skills to help? This sort of thing is something I've been interested in for a while but haven't been able to find a good place to start looking considering I havent previously done tech oriented charity work

Those two sites help with job matching for nonprofits. The first has both volunteering and paid positions, the second only paid AFAIK.
That first one - I like the concept but the website looks like it ultimately wants to sell me something, which is not a great look, tbh
Second one a bit too corporate-y for my taste, but looks like it fills a good gap.
These are great links, thanks a lot.
Second that.
Do you have personal experience with both? #2 looks like AI slop, from design to copy.
It's not AI slop, it's just bland design with corporate speak that the AI got trained on. There are plenty of pre-LLM sites just like that (most shadcn websites, for example)
Did you even look at it?
The copy on this side is synthetic and I'm betting my left nut on it. The thing that irritates me the most is the sentence fragment sing-song, the overexplaining, and the empty drama everywhere.
OpenAI did an 80% good job analysing this Claudesque landing page nightmare: https://chatgpt.com/share/6ac83ba2-2fe8-83ed-9000-939dc2fa0a...
(Sorry for being lazy here, I'm honestly just super tired of repeating the same things over and over again. Nothing against you, it's a 100% me problem and growing frustrating with the slop firehose. )
Ukraine volunteer here: - Find local charities where you can meet people face to face, and do your own due diligence, this is because: - The best/most tech-starved charities are the ones where they're continously in the trenches of the charities activities (so they won't even be on tech skill matching charity job boards) — and are generally poorly represented online
Seconded.
