Online volunteering, UN style
onlinevolunteering.org was launched in 2000 by the United Nations Volunteers programme. The premise is simple. Volunteers contribute their skills to help organizations address development challenges. From website building, translation, research, design work to building relationships with donors, the website connects volunteers with organizations working for sustainable human development (thats development with people and the planet in mind).
In 2007, this innovative approach to volunteering provided 3,800 online volunteering assignments offered by development organisations covering a wide range of projects.
As a volunteer you can search an easy-to-use database by task, topic or region. How about voluneering to be a moderator for an online consultation on youth migration or designing a logo and graphics for a website? Volunteers also help maintain the UN site.
