got a thought I had to unload:

What if there were a site where non-profit orgs, non-government orgs or charity orgs can post 'jobs' (unpaid) on a website and people can volunteer themselves to particular jobs?

I believe there are sites for it. But, how about points being given for each job actually done?

What if people can compete for max points in a time? and the winner gets a prize from a company which wants to 'encourage' good stuff for their own marketing purposes or whatever? (the prize gotta be a 'bonus' not the main attraction, otherwise it may not fly in the long run, hmm.. or who knows)

Would that result in more people doing more volunteering stuff?

A platform like facebook can easily implement such stuff, probably. and get some 'good' rub off too
