How does it work?

The Online Volunteering service connects volunteers with organizations working for sustainable human development. Volunteers contribute their skills online to help organizations address development challenges.

Online volunteers are professionals, students, homemakers, retirees, people with disabilities and expatriates from across the globe who support organizations over the Internet. What they have in common is a strong commitment to making a real difference to development.

1. Organizations that comply with the eligibility criteria submit their online volunteering opportunities.
    
2. UNV publishes them if they are in line with the opportunity criteria.
    
3. You search for opportunities that match your profile and interests, and submit your application to the organization that posted the opportunity through the website.
    
4. The organization selects the volunteers with whom they would like to collaborate.
    
5. If your application is successful, you collaborate with the organization over the Internet.
    
6. You submit feedback upon completion of the assignment.
    
7. The organization issues you a certificate of appreciation.
