What happens after you express interest

  1. 2IX saves a private application record with your message, contact email, and consent acknowledgement.
  2. The steward receives a WordPress mail notification or any connected notification integration.
  3. The organization reviews fit, availability, screening needs, and project readiness before follow-up.
  4. If the work moves forward, use the project context brief and acceptance criteria as the shared definition of done.

Submitting interest is not a placement guarantee. It is the safest first step: enough signal for a steward to respond without exposing private contact details publicly.

Express interest

Your message is saved in 2IX and routed to the steward. Direct contact details are not published on the public page.

Report a concern

Use this for safety, privacy, accuracy, eligibility, or suspicious-content concerns. Reports are private moderation records.

Optional, but helpful for follow-up.
