Map Places for Disaster Relief
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap volunteers trace roads, buildings, and rivers from satellite images so aid organizations have maps where none existed. You pick a mapping task, follow a short tutorial, and your work helps responders reach people after floods, earthquakes, and disease outbreaks. No mapping background is needed - just a computer and a bit of care.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
