Virtual volunteerism offers a convenient, flexible way for employees to give back to our community and beyond without traveling to and from work or home! This approach to volunteerism harnesses technology and has led to innovative models for helping communities and individuals. Volunteers can share their personal talents, professional skills, experience and education with those in need while practicing social distancing. There are many virtual volunteer opportunities, and the range of services organizations provide continues to grow.
As part of the Virtual Volunteerism program, employees can also participate in Micro Volunteering. Micro Volunteering allows anyone, anywhere, the opportunity to participate with or without a computer and are generally tasks that require just a few minutes or a few hours. In addition, Good Samaritans of all types demonstrate to our city that volunteers can still make a difference from home!
