Lisbon Hotspot
(Portuguese Version of Website Coming Soon!)
Today, the journey continues. makesense is a vibrant, ever-expanding and horizontal ecosystem of citizens, entrepreneurs and organizations both public or private.
Upon signing up, you will be grouped with 10-15 people, and we’ll provide the tools to assess your community needs and propose concrete ideas to support to those who need it most.
Through everyday acts of compassion – be it finding transportation for our frontliners, organizing events to make DIY hygiene kits, or even reaching out to people who need mental health support – we can make a real impact.
You will be helping us design solutions to solve fundamental issues in water access, electricity and energy, hygiene and sanitation, healthcare, and housing.
In week one, you will be accompanied by a makesense coordinator, who will help you support our network of NGOs. Every day, you will receive content and challenges to inspire action.
After you hit the ground running, you can opt into community coordinator training and learn how to coach an incoming team – sparking accelerated change!
“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Because we have no full-time paid staff locally, we rely on a core group of volunteers to keep our projects, ideas, meetings, partnerships, and communications organized and consistently active.
Core-Team Contributors are the backbone of our hotspot. They commit to a minimum 5 hours a week, for at least three months, and are responsible for making it easy for our community and partners to flow in and out of contributing to our projects, programs, and other opportunities.
The ability to contribute in your local community when it's practical was part of makesenses' original vision for Hotspots around the world. This was a challenge due to not having any full-time people locally who could manage it all.
Luckily, we solved that!
You are fully supported by our Core-Team Contributors! You can pick and choose what projects, programs and other opportunities you want to contribute to, when it's practical for you!
