Our international programs manager, Callie, presented on the benefits of virtual volunteering, and here are the bite-sized pieces for you to consider volunteering online.
You’ll be in constant contact with in-country coordinators that will guide you along the way giving you unique exposure to local organizations abroad and develop cross-cultural understanding.
Acquire the ability to collaborate with international teams and learn from local employees about the struggles, practice the language, and know the culture.
By volunteering online, you’ll gain literacy, learning, and life skills to allow you to adapt, improve, learn, and discern facts—to help you focus and develop on certain personal or professional qualities.
With summer plans canceled and you’re stuck at home, everyone is looking at ways to spice up their resumes. Also, utilize this opportunity in a more productive way that you’re still gaining access to work and internship experiences to learn new skills.
As this volunteering opportunity is entirely online, it forces you to get away from the normal structure. You’ll have to ruminate and come up with out of the box innovation to help the organization drive social impact.
