Moreover, the friendship and sense of belonging you provide can be particularly important for children facing social or economic challenges.
2. Flexibility and Convenience
Online volunteering offers an incredible degree of flexibility and convenience. You can make a difference from the comfort of your own home or student accommodation, allowing you to volunteer on your terms. This flexibility is a game-changer for those with busy schedules or other commitments. You can choose which day works best for you, making it easier to balance volunteering with your personal and professional life.
