Seva Exchange App Resources
Welcome to the SevaX App! We at Seva Exchange empower individuals, communities and organizations and equip them with the right tools and resources to change the world. The SevaX App transforms the way in which we help one another and give back to our community.
A Seva Community is a local community represented in the digital world to allow volunteers to offer support and for members to ask for help within communities and organizations. Virtual communities can be created within our app, but we caution you to ensure members are who they say they are. Trust is built more easily when you interact with each other face to face. Check the Restricted box, if you want to disable user-to-user transactions. That is, “Requests” can only be originated by the designated Admins of this Seva Community. Typically, Restricted Communities are used for Political Campaigns and some Nonprofit Organizations. You can make your community Private, when selecting a paid plan, so your Seva Community would not be discovered by anyone browsing - either by the name of the Seva Community or the location of the Seva Community. Note that everyone always needs a code to join your Seva Community. A “Private Seva Community” provides an additional level of privacy.
