Doc’s Answer

Briana nothing gets done by one person alone, which means we have to band together to make the changes we want to see in the world. Volunteerism has indeed been the fuel to the fires of change both on international and local fronts. Volunteering your time, skills, and resources is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference.

SOLDIERS' ANGLES • https://soldiersangels.org/covid-response/covidvirtualsupport
Soldiers’ Angels has several family friendly options to give back to our troops and veterans. Some involve joining a virtual team to write letters, send cards or bake treats to send to soldiers. To join a team, you’ll need to pay a $1 monthly donation. Other virtual volunteering (no team required) involves making masks, no-sew blankets, para-cord bracelets and cards of support.

CATCHAFIRE • https://www.catchafire.org
This volunteer search tool is exclusively for online volunteer projects. Each one has a timeline that can range anywhere from an hour to a few weeks. So whether you have an afternoon or several, you can help not-for-profit with tasks like writing thank you letters or editing photos.

BOOKSHARE • https://www.bookshare.org/cms/get-involved/volunteer
Bookshare.Org offers thousands of books to people with reading disabilities. As an online volunteer, you can either scan books to be added to the collection or edit books that have been scanned.

VOLUNTEER MATCH • https://www.volunteermatch.org/virtual-volunteering
VolunteerMatch lets you explore hundreds of virtual volunteer opportunities across health and medicine, children and youth, education, community building and more.

ALL FOR GOOD • https://www.pointsoflight.org/virtual-volunteering-opportunities
All for Good is Points of Light’s database of thousands of volunteer opportunities. To find virtual opportunities, enter “virtual” in your search under “More options.”

Hi, Briana:

You'll find that volunteering, while helping others, helps you as well. There's a special fulfilling feeling that happens when we are able to do good for others. We uplift ourselves in uplifting others.

I would recommend https://engage.pointsoflight.org/.

Continue to do good!! It's infectious.

Kerrie’s Answer

I would also look into volunteermatch.org. This website is able to match you to volunteer organizations in your area that are looking for both virtual and in-person volunteers to help out. I also know that when applying for nursing schools, it is helpful to have "hands-on" experience, so if you are willing to volunteer in person at local food banks, animal shelters, nursing homes, etc. that would also be great for your resume.
