Needs From: South Serves

The Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research. This research is made possible by volunteers—more than a million people around the world who come together to assist professional researchers. Our goal is to enable research that would not be possible, or practical, otherwise. Zooniverse research results in new discoveries, data sets useful to the wider research community, and many publications.

At the Zooniverse, anyone can be a researcher.  You don’t need specialized background, training, or expertise to participate in Zooniverse projects. It's easy for anyone to contribute to real academic research, on their own computer, at their own convenience.

You’ll be able to study authentic objects of interest gathered by researchers, like images of faraway galaxies, historical records and diaries, or videos of animals in their natural habitats. By answering simple questions or completing specific related to them, you’ll help contribute to our understanding of our world, our history, our universe, and more.

With our wide-ranging and ever-expanding suite of projects, covering many disciplines and topics across the sciences and humanities, there's a place for anyone and everyone to explore, learn, and have fun in the Zooniverse. To volunteer with us, just go to the Projects page, choose one you like the look of, and get started.

Don't forget to Respond to this Need, so you can track your service hours. You will need to send screenshots of your Zooniverse "Volunteer Certificate" page that displays the number of projects and hours you’ve completed for a certain time period to communityengagement@southalabama.edu in order for us to be able to verify your hours. Please track and submit the actual amount of time spent volunteering.

As an additional reminder, because the process for getting started is linked above, you won't receive a follow-up e-mail from the hosting agency when you Respond to this Need.
