Organization: FinUA.org — Legal support for Ukrainians in Finland
About Us FinUA is a nonprofit community providing legal support to Ukrainians navigating life in Finland. We support thousands of people each month through our volunteer-driven legal consultations. We're now building out our own data analysis pipelines to understand needs better, streamline legal consultations, and provide more effective support.
What You’ll Do
As our volunteer Data Scientist, you’ll help us move from manual reviews to automated insight.
