"For every 3 cards you create, you will receive 1 hour of service."

A great idea from our friends at the Academy of the Holy Cross!

You can find a number of great options for this activity here.  Bonus points for having students take photos and use the email verification feature in your MobileServe app!

Virtual Assistance for the Blind

Be My Eyes is a free app that connects blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers and company representatives for visual assistance through a live video call.

Another great find from DeSales High School!

Volunteer for House Chores

Especially for younger volunteers!

Consider activities such as spring cleaning YOUR  home, working in YOUR yard (mowing lawn, weeding, planting, brush clean up, etc), detailing YOUR PARENTS’ car (not your own!), etc. 

Another great idea from Mount Paran Christian School!

Create Instructional Videos

Relive those glory days and create music, art or dance tutorials for others to sharpen their skills while at home. A fantastic recommendaton by our friends at The Academy of the Holy Cross!

"If your students would like to record some kids books on video, we could send that out to our students!!" 

Great Idea!

National Park Virtual Volunteers

Yes!  Our friends at DeSales High School actually found virtual volunteer opportunities with the National Park Service!

Heres the link.  Thanks for sharing!

Sew Medical Masks

"Many hospitals have requested medical masks in light of shortages in parts of the country. Joann Fabrics has a video here of how to sew the masks and they have drop offs at each store along with curbside pick up."

Thanks to The Academy of the Holy Cross for sharing this opportunity. 

Help the Smithsonian Museum

Another great find from DeSales High School.  Check out the great opportunities for virtual volunteering at the Smithsonian!

"Digital Volunteers" can now take on important assignments to expand access to the Smithsonian's massive collections, and can participate in a variety of research programs.

Call Local Nonprofits

We received so many great local ideas from program leaders who reached out to their community for local virtual volunteer opportunities.  Consider what unique opportunities may be near you. We can't wait to hear about them!
