I need some names of sites, where I can enhance my extracurriculars this summer online.

I have tried Coursera, but the courses are paid. For online volunteering, I want some short-term online opportunities, if anybody can help me, that would really help.

Hi Kayana,

You have some great suggestions here regarding sites to check-out, like Zooniverse.

I'll just add a few more suggestions:

Trash Free Seas – DIY Beach Clean-Up https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/
Schedule and hold your own community clean-up in your neighborhood, a local beach, river or park and help keep waste out of our waterways and oceans.

St. Jude Kids, Send a free online card to encourage a child in a hospital.

International Volunteer HQ

Best wishes to you in your career and educational goals and it's so great you are thinking of ways you can gain volunteer experience.

Melisa recommends the following next steps:

Track your volunteer time too and create a 'volunteering resume' that can show all the ways you are making an impact in our world.
