It can also mean organizing service trips and leading your teammates. Joy is not just found on rollercoasters and ferris wheels; it is […]

咁多個香港義工配對平台之中，你有冇聽過Time Auction 呢？以下係關於Time Auction 嘅常見問題，俾你可以一分鐘內了解Time Auction 係咩嚟：（一）Time Auction係咩嚟？ Time Auction 係一個香港義工配對平台，中文譯名係「時間拍賣」，顧名思義，義工喺平台上面參加義工活動後，可以用自己嘅義工時數（Volunteer hour）兌換獎勵。（二）Time Auction同一般義工配對平台有咩分別？ Time Auction 平台上面嘅義工服務以技能義工（Skilled-volunteers）服務為主。技能義工會運用個人技能同專長，為非牟利組織（NGO）提供專業嘅義工服務。呢類義工服務好多都可以遠程（Remote working）完成，義工可以靈活安排自己嘅工作時間同工作地點，換取義工時數。（三）賺義工時數有啲咩好處？喺Time Auction上面，累積一定義工時數後可以兌換不同種類嘅獎賞。義工可以選擇同社會各界嘅專業人士會面或飯聚，交流工作經驗同人生價值，從佢地身上學習成功嘅秘訣；Time Auction亦會定期更新唔同嘅文化或健康相關嘅體驗活動，義工可以參加自己感興趣嘅活動，增值自己。以往Time Auction曾邀請前財政司司長曾俊華、歌手鄭秀文等社會名人出席義工聚餐；亦曾經舉辦過抽獎，俾義工用義工時數抽韓國人氣女團Blackpink嘅演唱會飛，獎賞種類非常多元。【探索獎賞】（四）點解會成立Time Auction？ Time Auction 喺2014年成立，2017年註冊成為慈善機構。創辦人發現香港人做義工嘅比例低於其他國際城市，於是萌生用義工時數換獎賞嘅諗法，希望鼓勵更多香港市民用空餘時間做義工，令NGO得到自己需要嘅技能支援嘅同時，義工又可以兌換自己想要嘅活動獎勵，達致雙嬴局面。（五）Time Auction上面有咩義工活動？ Time Auction 上面70%嘅義工專案係線上或遙距可以完成。義工種類涵蓋辦公室技能支援（如平面設計、文案寫作）、現場活動技能支援（如活動攝影、活動協調員）、專業建議和諮詢（如商業諮詢、法律意見諮詢）等。（六）點樣搵義工服務？喺Time Auction平台上，義工可以選擇服務範疇、擅長技能、服務所需時數等篩選條件，搜尋到最符合專長嘅義工服務。如果唔想自己搜尋咁麻煩，Time Auction 定期有電郵（Email）通知義工最新嘅義工招募項目，義工可以根據分類一次過瀏覽同自己專業技能（Professions）相關嘅項目。義工亦可以瀏覽Time Auction 嘅Instagram同LinkedIn帳戶了解每星期精選嘅義工招募項目。【探索義工機會】（七）點樣註冊成為Time Auction 義工？ Time Auction嘅義工註冊步驟非常簡單，新用戶只要喺Time Auction 網頁用Facebook、LinkedIn或電郵地址就可以註冊，註冊後即時可以喺每星期100+項義工服務中搵最啱你心水嘅服務去申請！【立即申請】
