There are no costs involved. Online volunteers cooperate across the world, without ever leaving their own homes. Online volunteers not only provide valuable skills and expertise. Coming from various backgrounds and cultures, they also bring new ideas and fresh perspectives. And they can help develop capacity in the organizations they work with, training staff, teaching new skills or providing guidance and advice.
Anyone can be an online volunteer via the UNV Online Volunteering service. All they need is a computer, an Internet connection and skills to offer. Online volunteers are professionals, students, homemakers, retirees, people with disabilities and expatriates from across the globe. They all have one thing in common – a commitment to making a real difference to peace and development.
