Helloo everyone. So ive been recently looking alot into online volunteering that provide you with volunteering hours but i have doubts whether theyre legitimate or not. For example ive been seeing alot about nonprofits whose policies and tasks seem too simple. So Id like to know whether its a really hard thing to get accepted into as a volunteer or if its misleading in some way.
Hi everyone, I’m 19 and currently a student. I’ve been accepted into a volunteer program with IVHQ in Portugal where I’ll be helping support children through care and community programs.
This opportunity means a lot to me because I’ve always wanted to use my time and energy to help others in a meaningful way, especially children who deserve support, kindness, and opportunity.
As a student, I’m covering what I can myself, but finances are limited, so I started a fundraiser to help with program fees, travel, accommodation, and essential costs.
If anyone would like to donate or even share advice on fundraising, I’d be incredibly grateful. Even small support helps more than you know.
Thank you for reading.
A: Hi, thank you for reaching out. I’m **. I recently applied through HVT and I’m interested in learning more about this opportunity.
I have skills in content writing, basic computer applications (DCA), and creative work like naming and branding. I’m also a Taekwondo Black Belt, which has helped me develop discipline and teamwork.
I’d like to know more about the role, responsibilities, duration, and accommodation details. Looking forward to your response.

I already applied for piedmont eastside volunteer program, I live in loganville btw plus im turning 16 in may.
Where I can volunteer being under 18? There are no interesting options In my country , I am really in love with worldpackers program but 18 years is required🥲 If you know similar international programs please write
does anyone know where I can volunteer in the minnesota/minneapolis area? I am 13 but I am turning 14 in a few months. I really like animals and I want to volunteer at a zoo/humane society! if you know of any please tell me!
I am a Stage 4 Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Thriver of over 7 years. I have something called a MET mutation which allows me to take targeted therapy and so far, it's still working. I am also the Patient Support Leader for a support group/charity called the MET Crusaders.
Who are the MET Crusaders?
The MET Crusaders is your global, pan-tumor, biomarker support group for patients, care partners, and families.
Anyway, we have an unpaid, volunteer position available! Please see below for more information and share. Thank you! Amy
------------
Do you know someone who wants to expand their web development portfolio while doing something that matters?
MET Crusaders is looking for a volunteer web developer with strong WordPress, HTML, and CSS skills to help update and improve our website. We estimate 20-30 hours of work and are flexible on pace and scheduling. PHP experience is a plus. Full scope and application linked below. ***This position is unpaid***
We serve people with MET-altered cancers, a rare diagnosis that often comes with very little support. Our website and social media are how they find us. A personal connection to cancer is not required, but it tends to make the work meaningful in a different way.
If you know someone who might be a good fit, we'd appreciate an introduction.

Hello Reddit,
I’m a 24 year old hospitality worker who has a bit of free time on my hands due to the on going situation in Qatar right now.
I’m looking for any paid or unpaid volunteering opportunities here in Doha as I’m used to working and have been given a few weeks of paid time off and don’t want to waste my time just staying indoors
I’d be glad if anyone had a link to any opportunities or groups I could join in as it’s my first time volunteering
