virtual volunteering!

Virtual volunteering Virtual volunteering opens up a whole new world of volunteer possibilities. Virtual volunteering makes it possible to volunteer without ever leaving home. With access to an email account, virtual volunteering makes it possible to volunteer during a lunch break from class or work. Virtual volunteering also makes it possible to volunteer anywhere in Canada or abroad regardless of where you actually live. Virtual volunteers conduct online research, provide professional consulting services, write newsletters, provide online mentoring, electronically visit terminally ill patients and much more. For you, the person who works with volunteers, a whole new world of possibilities opens as well. Consider how many new volunteers with specific skills and expertise you could involve – regardless of where they actually live.
