Virtual Volunteers
SYEDA (South Yorkshire Eating Disorder Association)
The vinvolved team Sheffield are supporting SYEDA to help them to find volunteers age 16-25Virtual volunteering means volunteer tasks completed, in whole or in part, via the Internet and a home or work computer. It's also known as online volunteering, cyber service, online mentoring and various other names. Virtual volunteering allows Syeda to expand the benefits of our volunteer programs, by allowing for more volunteers to participate, and by utilising volunteers in new areas.Many people actively search for volunteer opportunities they can complete via home or work computers, because of time constraints, personal preference, a disability or a home-based obligation that prevents them from volunteering on-site. Virtual volunteering allows anyone to contribute time and expertise to Syeda.Duties: Duties will be discussed and agreed with each individual volunteer.Examples of activities for Virtual Volunteers:Conducting online research: finding information to use in a Syeda's upcoming grant application or newsletter, gathering information on a particular government program or legislation that could affect Syeda's clients, gathering web site addresses of similarly-focused organisations.Translating a document or promotional material into another languageArticle writing Designing Syeda's newsletter or brochure, or editing/proof reading Syeda's publications or proposalsResearching and writing articles for brochures, newsletters, web site

Horsesmouth
Horsesmouth is a safe, purpose-built, confidential website for informal e-mentoring. We are looking for anyone who has an experience to share and is aged sixteen plus to volunteer and become a mentor.At sixteen or indeed 60 you may be wondering what qualifies you to be a mentor. Well you don't have to have any training or qualifications. Horsesmouth is not a professional advisory service. What it is, however, is a sounding board for those occasions in life when people really want to talk to someone whos been there and done that.So, if you have some time to spare (10 minutes or 10 hours) you can help support and inspire others by registering as a mentor. From starting a business to starting a family; from life with cancer to life as a carer; from which A level, NVQ or undergraduate course to whither an MBA; someone needs what you know. As a mentor you will be asked to complete a fairly thought provoking questionnaire. It shouldnt take any longer than 15 minutes to complete, but after its been approved you can get online and respond to calls for help.A key principle of the Horsesmouth site is that we all have something to give and gain so in addition to mentoring someone, you may find your own mentor on Horsesmouth.

E-Befriender
NAS Befriending (National Autistic Society)
The NAS new e-befriending scheme offers people with autism the chance to build friendships with a trained volunteer through email. E-befriending takes on average 1 hour per week and can be done from home or from anywhere that you have internet access. This new service is a supplement to the befriending service and will provide people with autism the opportunity to learn social and communication skills in a way that may be more suitable to them - this is particularly useful when an individual lives somewhere remote and is otherwise unable to access other services or when a volunteer has very limited time. The National Autistic Society matches volunteers to families and individuals who have something in common. By giving some of your time you could really open up this world and support their inclusion in society. You could really make a difference.

Online mentoring
Horsesmouth (on line organisation)
If you've lived and learned, there are probably people here who could benefit from your wisdom. Don't keep it all locked up inside your head - share it with others who might benefit from hearing how you've handled something, managed something or achieved something. It's a great way to volunteer and give something back, and it's a really meaningful way to enjoy communicating online. It requires only that you take it seriously and are ready to participate in the community.

The YAT also have a budget so you could have your say on how that budget is spent to develop youth volunteering in Coventry.The beauty of this role is that its all virtual, you may be required to respond to emails or online survey without even leaving your bedroom and you can still work toward gaining your national v awards and the many incentives vinvolved Coventry offer their young volunteers.
