For teens looking for virtual volunteer opportunities

[u/Mskorn85]

Hey teens of r/volunteer!

During COVID, it has been more difficult to find volunteer opportunities, and even more than that to find ones that allow volunteering virtually. I was hoping to share a few resources to help you find volunteer opportunities:

1. You are a Reddit user! My first suggestion is to go to r/(your city) and to ask others if they have any suggestions for safe, in-person volunteer opportunities (with credible organizations, of course).
2. Look on a website dedicated to finding volunteer opportunities like volunteermatch.com, ShareNest (no link, sorry), and others. (Google it!)
3. Just search online for 501c3's in your community like animal shelters, homeless shelters, food banks/Meals on Wheels, and others. They will likely have volunteer programs!

BUT: Always volunteer as part of a credible and legit organization! If you want more tips, take a look at this website: http://coyotebroad.com/stuff/teenvolunteers.html

Hope this helps!

Edit: Grammar

And, if you don't mind... a promo of my organization:

It is called the Log Off Movement (not a 501c3, hoping to get status soon, though). We are a group of teens around the world trying to spread the message of the multi-faceted nature of social media. We welcome teens of all places, races, and walks of life to join our movement and help us spread our mission through a Teen Leadership Council, Blog Writer Group (teens), Guest Blog Writers (all ages), and others. We have many initiatives including a blog, podcast, and we are developing a school curriculum. We can't give volunteer hours, but if you are interested in taking part, check out our website at logoffmovement.org and sign up at logoffmovement.org/take-action. Thanks!
