Change the World Without Leaving the House
Be a Virtual Volunteer
Some people want that physical interaction to know they're making a difference. They want to smell the food they are passing out, and see the smile on other peoples faces. If this is you a virtual volunteer position may not be the best fit.
Many others however, are used to interacting with the world virtually (through a computer) and they just want to make the biggest impact with the least amount of time invested.
If this is you then there is a world of opportunity out there! Become a virtual volunteer and change the world from your home computer. Many virtual volunteer opportunities involve online marketing and promotions - basically helping your favorite non-profit get more traffic. Other opportunities might involve advocacy (writing e-mail to influential people) and social networking.
For those of you with specific skills there is opportunity for tutoring and mentoring via the internet, and of course website design services are always in demand.
Most importantly though, don't forget what volunteering offers you as a person - it offers you the chance to grow past the world of materialism, to be part of something bigger than yourself, to make the world a better place, and to feel good about your contribution to the planet, so let's get started!

Virtual Volunteer Opportunities
Some great easy-to-do volunteer opportunities
Off the bat, here are a few great virtual volunteer opportunities that almost anyone can do:
The Dreamer.Me Virtual Volunteer Army - Dreamer.Me is a non-profit search engine. Being a volunteer at Dreamer.Me helps the site recruit new users, raise more revenue, and therefore give more money to charity. It's an indirect method of volunteering but that doesn't mean you're not making a big difference. This is probably the easiest volunteer opportunity because there is no real commitment.
I Could Be - If you'd like to invest a little more time, I Could Be is an educational non-profit that allows you to mentor students around the world from your computer.
