Online volunteering 💻🌐
Explore online volunteering opportunities that can be carried out remotely from home or another location. Organisations and community projects may look for volunteers with skills in communication, fundraising, research, translation, design, IT, social media, administration, education or other activities that can be completed online.
Remote roles vary considerably in duration, workload and level of responsibility. Some involve occasional tasks, while others require a regular weekly commitment or collaboration with a team over several months.
What is online volunteering? 💻🌐
Online volunteering is unpaid or volunteer-based activity that can be performed remotely using the internet and digital tools. Examples can include writing, translation, research, fundraising support, graphic design, website work, social media or online teaching. An on-site volunteer role does not become an online opportunity simply because some of the tasks involve a computer.
What to check before volunteering remotely
Ask what tasks are expected, how many hours are required, how long the commitment lasts, who will supervise or coordinate the work and which platforms or software are used. Clarify whether meetings take place in a particular time zone and whether you are expected to use your own equipment or paid software.
For roles involving fundraising, personal data, children, counselling, health information or access to organisational accounts, check privacy, safeguarding, account permissions and professional boundaries before starting.
