Hi Dears!

The current situation encourages us to stay at home #stayfuckinghome and we are super responsible for this. But being at home does not mean that we can forget about volunteering.

Let’s talk about online volunteering! 🥰

Volunteering online lets you donate your virtual time to that context, which matters for you, so you can make a difference even if you can’t go physically volunteer somewhere. 🤩
Check out the list below to learn about a few different ways you can create IRL impact through online action.

✅ United Nations Volunteers
If you’re looking to take your online volunteering worldwide, this is the place to start. UNV connects you with organizations working for peace and development in need of skills like research, writing, art, and design. There are already over 12,000 volunteers from 187 countries lending their talents to organizations around the globe.

✅ Translators Without Borders
For those fluent in more than one language, check out this nonprofit that combines language skills with humanitarian aid. Volunteers provide translations (10 million words a year!) to international organizations that focus on crisis relief, health and education.

✅ DoSomething.org
DoSomething empowers young people to enact social change both online or off. DoSomething members have used the internet to successfully urge Apple to diversify their emojis, change the dictionary definition of “Black/black”, and create the largest crowdsourced anti-bullying guide.

✅ Crisis Text Line
Here’s a perfect example of technology being used for good. Become a volunteer to help the Crisis Text Line continue to offer free, 24/7 support for those in crisis. If you’re at least 18 and can commit to volunteering four hours each week, you can apply to be trained for free.

✅ Zooniverse
Zooniverse is a platform for people-powered research that literally wouldn’t be possible (or practical) without the help of online volunteers. Spend as much or as little time as you’d like identifying endangered animals, classifying galaxy systems, or transcribing Shakespearean manuscripts.

✅ Project Gutenberg
Founded in 1971, this may just be the virtual volunteering effort that started it all. The goal is to create the largest digital library, and so far they’ve amassed 59,000 free eBooks. Volunteer by donating eligible materials, transcribing books into a digital form, or proofreading others’ work.

✅ Smithsonian Digital Volunteers
The Smithsonian Institution is the world’s largest museum, education, and research complex, but even they could use a little help sometimes. Help make their collections more accessible by volunteering online to transcribe historical documents or edit Wikipedia articles related to their artifacts and research.

There are plenty of reasons to volunteer your time for a good cause. I do it because I believe that even small thing can make a change.

If you find yourself with some extra time on your hands, why not consider committing a few hours to volunteering and putting that extra shine on your carma and resume? Who knows, you may learn an entirely new set of talents, which will inspire you for further achievements!😍
