Volunteering is a fantastic way to give back to your local community, but it’s also a great option for individuals who want to volunteer outside of their community.
But what if you can’t always hop on a plane or train to give back? Or what if you want to engage in community service, but don’t have the time or ability to do so in person?
For this, we turn to virtual volunteering.
Volunteering remotely is a fantastic option for folks who want a bit more flexibility from their community service. And in 2025, there are more ways to lend a hand to nonprofits and community groups in need over the phone, laptop, or desktop than ever before.
