When you join 510, you become part of a networked team of skilled staff and volunteers, all working towards our purpose to improve the speed, quality & cost-effectiveness of humanitarian aid by using and creating data and digital products.
We started with 3 people in 2016. Since then, we have grown into a larger agile team. We now have a mix of core and project staff working together with both professional and student volunteers. We also work together with data teams from the Red Cross in Malawi and Zambia.
