Here's one I've done in the past.

You can write a letter, draw a picture or send a photo to isolated elderly people during COVID.

Hi Dang,
Check out https://www.missingmaps.org/
The American Red Cross runs this program to help map out roads and buildings in foreign countries; mainly for emergency response.
I got a large enough group of volunteers together to have the Red Cross facilitate my volunteer hour with information on how useful our work will be.
Enjoy,
Juan

Roman’s Answer

I used to use HansonRVA.org. There's virtual and in-person opportunities, as well as, a calendar of all of the events. It's easy to filter for certain types of causes or activities and sign up is simple.

I had a good experience participating in some in-person volunteering efforts through this site - I expect that the virtual opportunities would be well organized as well.
