Virtual Volunteering
Youth volunteering charity v is supporting a Virtual Volunteers project that encourages 16 to 25-year-olds to give their time by internet or telephone.
The programme will include taster sessions at a series of charities including the Red Cross, Time Banks UK, Victim Support, Mencap and The Food Chain.
Internet-based volunteering is largely untapped in the UK and yet it has great potential to help voluntary organisations fulfil their goals and reach out to a global audience of volunteers. Whilst googling around for “online volunteering”, we came across Macdonald Youth Services of Winnipeg, Canada – which offers some great resources on online volunteering.
