Support Center Association "Just Do It"

The Just Do It Support Center Association, established in March 2022 by 8 dedicated citizens (3 from Ukraine and 5 from Poland), supports refugees, migrants, and socially excluded individuals. Its mission focuses on education, professional activation, and fighting disinformation and digital exclusion. The Association’s community includes over 81,000 supporting members and more than 5,000 active volunteers. One of its flagship programs is the “Crisis Volunteer” training series, which prepares individuals to respond to emergencies, including humanitarian crises. In partnership with BOS Poland, free first aid and medical rescue workshops are held across Poland—in schools, NGOs, and defense groups. In 2024 alone, over 7,500 people took part. Key projects include: “First Steps to Finding a Job in Poland” – an educational podcast series offering guidance for migrants and refugees on writing CVs, attending job interviews, and understanding employment law. “Ukrainian Artistic School TALENTS” – therapeutic art workshops for refugee children, combining cultural education and psychological support. “Honest Blogger” – a nationwide contest promoting ethics and responsibility among young digital content creators. “Combating Disinformation in the Digital World” – a program teaching critical thinking and source analysis in today’s media environment. Internationally, the Association contributes to the UN’s Global Digital Compact, promoting an open and safe digital space, supporting women and youth in tech, and closing the digital divide. The organization also explores innovative funding tools. Its JustDoItCoin project—a blockchain-based volunteer reward and transparency system—demonstrates how technology can empower local action. By merging grassroots support with tech-driven solutions, the Just Do It Support Center is reshaping how NGOs operate in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe.
