I've posted before in another thread about volunteering in small chunks of time to charities and nonprofits, usually from your own home (in your pyjamas, if you wish), without having to give any commitment to the worthy cause you're volunteering for. Since that thread, I've found some other websites that offer microvolunteering or bite-sized roles, and I thought I would share them with you.
Reason: because I feel we seniors have a lot to give back to society, but sometimes we're not all able to attend traditional volunteering events. These bite-sized roles that can be done from your own home, seem a great compromise to me. Some of the links below are non UK ones, but because the internet is the internet, they can still be participated in from anywhere in the world - isn't that marvellous. I hope you find these links useful:
helpfromhome.org/ - over 800 tiny actions on offer from around the world's nonprofits, mostly unskilled, online / offline, can be completed in under 30 minutes
skillsforchange.com/ - skilled bite-sized actions on offer from around the world's nonprofits, all online, can be completed in 10 minutes to 2 hours
www.onebillionminds.com/ - pledge your help in under 1 hour to virtually assist do-good innovation projects in India
raise5.com/ - sell your voluntary services in bite-sized chunks (!), and raise money for charities
www.koodonation.com/ - skilled online actions with a Canadian focus, can be completed in 10 minutes to 2 hours
communiteer.org/ - just starting up, so is actually looking for people to sign up to it, so maybe not many tasks to complete yet
