Worldwide virtual volunteering

Virtual volunteering makes it easy to donate your time and skills to overseas charities. Visit the worldwide volunteering database and see what's available.

WorldWide Volunteering (WWV) is a non-profit making organisation whose aim is to make it easier for people of all ages to volunteer. The WWV website provides instant access to information about a wide range of volunteering opportunities throughout the UK and worldwide.

Visit the WWV database and build an on-screen profile of your ideal volunteer placement. This is then matched against the requirements of over 1,500 organisations throughout the world. Together, they provide over one million overseas volunteer placements, so you're bound to find something that suits you.

There are almost 150 virtual volunteering opportunities available on WWV's database of 1,500 organisations. The search-and-match system allows you to search for these specific opportunities as well as more traditional face-to-face opportunities.

WWV is looking to attract young people aged 16-25 into virtual volunteering. So if you're keen to help people in other countries by volunteering from a remote location using your computer, a worldwide virtual volunteering opportunity could be just the thing.
