Join a team of Open Food Facts volunteers
Open Food Facts exists thanks to the citizens who give their time and talent in various activities, from the technical development of the database, to the translation of the contents allowing more people to have access to the information in their own language, to the writing of articles, to the support of the (re-)users…
A large international family that gives a unique character to this beautiful project, made for all, by all! 🌍✨
To facilitate the involvement of our contributors and allow the project to grow in a more dynamic way, we are setting up a Contributors Skill Pool, as well as teams of volunteers by theme.
✅ The aim is to match your skills and interests to the needs of the project.
Whether you are already a very involved contributor or have just arrived and want to participate, we invite you to fill in the form below. (All personal data you enter will be kept confidential and used only by the permanent team to contact you).
3 simple & quick steps:
1.🧐 Check out the map of various teams in the Open Food Facts project ecosystem.
Note #1: it’s not a set-in-stone team list and will probably evolve over time; so if you have skills that don’t match any of the topics mentioned here, don’t worry, please fill in the form, telling us how you would like to contribute to the project. You can also choose to be in several teams, if you feel like it 😉
Note #2: You don’t need to be an expert in the field.
2. ✍️ Fill in the “Contributors Skill Pool” form (duration approx. 3-5 minutes).
3. 🙋♀️ 🙋 🙋♂️ Once a team has several people, we will be able to mobilize you for one-off projects or regular actions, depending on your wishes & availability.
We would also like to be able to organise meetings and webinars (online or in person) in order to exchange and advance the project together.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to fill in this questionnaire 🙏.
Please feel free to join us today on our Slack.
If you wish to fill the form in your language, please let us know and we will do our best to make a translation available to you.
Any questions? If you want more details about this Open Food Facts volunteer engagement tool, please write to gala.nafikova@openfoodfacts.org (cc: contact@openfoodfacts.org).

[…] At such an event, the public is always very friendly, motivated to know more about how they could potentially contribute to the project. We had prepared various posters, product packagings and QR Codes, in order to try our app, to participate in the donation campaign or to fill a form to get into the contributive community of Open Food Facts (you can read more about this Contributor Skill Pool in this article).
