Online resources 💻🔎

Laptop and notebook representing online resources for volunteers and travellers

Explore online resources for volunteers, hosts and alternative travellers, including useful websites, digital tools, platforms, apps, practical guides and other resources that can help with researching opportunities, organising projects or planning travel.

This archive is editorial rather than a directory of remote volunteer positions. If you are looking specifically for roles that can be completed from home or another location, visit the online volunteering opportunities archive.

What is an online resource? 💻🔎

An online resource can be a website, app, digital platform, directory, tool or practical guide that helps people find information or complete a useful task online. In this archive, the resource should be substantially relevant to volunteering, travel, community projects or organisations rather than simply being a website mentioned in an article.

What you may find here

Resources may include volunteer-search platforms, travel-planning tools, maps, communication and fundraising guides, online safety information, digital tools for organisations and websites that help travellers research destinations or opportunities.

External websites, apps and services can change, close or introduce new fees and conditions. Check the publication date and visit the original source for current information before relying on an older recommendation.

How to use this page

Browse the articles below according to what you need rather than assuming that every resource is suitable for every traveller or organisation. When a website handles payments, personal information, applications or account access, check its current privacy, security and terms of use before signing up.
