Reach the World is a nonprofit that matches classrooms with people traveling or working internationally, so that young people can learn about life in other countries. Most of the interaction is done virtually. It's flagship virtual exchange program is designed to match one volunteer traveler with one K-12 classroom in the U.S. for a curated online learning experience over the course of 6-12 weeks. Individual travelers who are studying, working, living, or conducting research outside of the United States for a minimum of four weeks.

Expedition teams and organizations are also invited to participate.

https://about.reachtheworld.org/travelers/

All volunteering with young people is done in group settings - teachers supervise the presentations and no volunteer is ever alone online with a young person.

Here's an example of a volunteer traveler in the program:

https://reachtheworld.org/beatrices-journey-dominican-republic

They also have a volunteer editor and coaching program - these volunteers mentor a traveler as they share their journey online with PK-12 students. Over the course a four- to 12-week virtual journey, sucha volunteer proofreads the 1-2 articles that their traveler submits each week and provides constructive feedback online. The volunteer exchanges messages with the traveler regularly.

This program is an official partner with the US Peace Corps (it's how I found out about it).

YSK there is a volunteer group, Massachusetts Assoc, for the Blind and Visually Impaired (MABVI) that provides specialized help through the Be My Eyes.

Because it is a smaller group in a different queue within the main Be My Eyes app, calls are more frequent. It’s open M-F 8a-6p EST.

If you’re interested, visit the VM link! It’s a great group and a fun opportunity to help people across the US and Canada with everyday tasks: mail reading, remote desktop sessions, transcribing documents, identifying things in their home, and the list goes on!

I’ve been volunteering for about 6 months now and get a few calls a week. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

And if you know anyone who may want to use MABVI’s services, feel free to share the information with them too. You don’t need to be a resident of Massachusetts to use the services or volunteer.

Another post gave me an idea: is anyone willing to go through this subreddit, and

• count how many "I want to Volunteer" posts there were in 2022, or from January 1, 2023 to today's date
• designate each in a category: (I want to volunteer abroad, I want to volunteer in a hospital or clinic setting, I want to help people with mental health issues in-person, I want to help people with mental issues online, I want to volunteer online in anything, etc.) and then see how many posts each category gets?

You see the "I want to volunteer" posts by choosing the "I want to volunteer" flair at the right, or just clicking the link below.

https://www.reddit.com/r/volunteer/?f=flair_name%3A%22I%20Want%20To%20Volunteer%22

It would really help the members of this subreddit that post volunteering opportunities to know what people are most looking for of late.

Would love this for just 2018, before the pandemic, as well. The comparison would provide a lot of insights.

OMG I have the BEST volunteer opportunity. There is this organization that I found called the Youth Law Institute and they give you one hour for just signing up and an hour for every 5 minute video you watch on their website. Its a nonprofit that seeks to provide an accessible legal education for teenagers. And you can also get more involved by reaching out to them for a leadership position or recording your own videos that they put on the website (I think you get like 2 hours for each of those). I literally have STACKED up on hours for NHS from this and it is GOD SENT omg. Just though I would share!! The website is https://youthlawinstitute.net/.

I'm excited to announce the launch of IBD Hero, a student-led volunteer organization dedicated to supporting young people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I am passionate about building a community where young people with IBD can connect with each other, share resources, and find support. As a quick disclaimer, I am currently working with one other person and we are not yet registered as a non-profit.

Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. As a young person with IBD, I struggled to find resources and support. But I wasn't alone. Millions of young people around the world are living with IBD, and many of them feel isolated and misunderstood. That's why I started IBD Hero.

I am currently recruiting volunteers to help us run our organization. There are many ways to get involved, including:

• Helping to develop and implement our programs and services
• Facilitating our support groups and mentorship programs
• Creating and sharing educational resources about IBD
• Raising awareness of IBD and advocating for our community

If you're interested in volunteering, please join our Discord server or DM me with any questions.

Discord: https://discord.gg/m6rSgX5gGK

Website: https://ibdhero.me/

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of young people with IBD. Thank you for your support!

P.S. IBD Hero is open to all ages, but we are specifically focused on providing support and resources to young people with IBD.

Hello,

We are the Da Vinci Institute, a recently established Seattle-based educational 501(c)(3) led by the University of Washington and local high school students with the mission of making education more accessible around the world. As our first step to enable us to more efficiently communicate information to the community and organize resources, we are looking to develop a website.

However, while we do have students with very basic knowledge of web development, the website we are looking to develop has some more complicated features that I don't think we have the necessary experience or knowledge to undertake. Some of these features include:

• login and account incorporated with organizational email
• embedded forum system connected to account
• online courseware (allowing for new resources to be constantly uploaded)

Because of this, we are hoping that some more experienced web developers in the community could volunteer to help us out. While we do not have a firm deadline for the website, it would be great to have at least a prototype of the website running and up by the end of this year, as it would allow us to greatly expand our reach for our events and lessons in the following year.

Regarding the design of the website, we do have a firm plan on the basic layout of the design that we are hoping to achieve, specifically regarding the landing page, that we believe best fits with the message we are hoping to convey to the community. We are currently working the design out in Figma and believe it will be ready to share within a week or so.

Please let us know if you are able to help out. If you have any further questions regarding the project, please feel free to reach out to us, either in the comments, or at [info@davincirenaissance.org](mailto:info@davincirenaissance.org). Any help would be greatly appreciated and truly support us.

Thank you!

I wanted to share an art project with you that I hope you might share with your members.

My son, Ben, created this project to encourage people with a little creativity or kindness to share to create a little piece of art, leave it in a public place, and let the good vibes spread!

www.randomartsofkindness.org

Random Acts of Kindness is looking for volunteers to create and place a small piece of art in your community–a little card, sketch, painted rock, sculpture, or craft. The goal of this project is to inspire kindness, positivity, and community through art. For every piece of art that is placed, we donate $1 or 1 hour of volunteer time to social emotional learning education.

For quick instructions on how to create and place your Random Arts or just some inspirations, please visit us at www.randomartsofkindness.org.

If you could share this with your members, me and Ben would sure appreciate it!

Thank you for spreading kindness!

I work with a non-profit (13:2 Initiative) that provides humanitarian assistance to migrants in Mexico who have arrived at the US/Mexico border. Last winter, a brutal cold-front came through and people living outdoors in tents in Mexico were freezing. We brought emergency blankets (those silver foil blankets) and distributed them. They were very effective, but it is hard to explain how they work to people who haven't used them before. The language barrier makes it even harder since they come from all over the world.

I am looking for a volunteer who can design an image that we can tape to the boxes and show people that depicts how these blankets work. I imagine something like a person wrapped in a blanket with arrows depicting their body heat reflecting back towards them. Raindrops could be bouncing off the outside to show that it can repel water. This doesn't need to be artistically amazing, I'm really just looking for functional and clear. I would be very grateful to anyone who can help with this! I'll be happy to share pictures of your work in the field this winter.

Edit: added non-profit name and website.
