Online Volunteering means, plainly, working as a volunteer with an organization by staying at home. Communication, work results and feedback are exchanged by email, via the Internet. Imagine the potential for a real global collaborating development network. More people can get more things done. Host institutions don't have to provide material or work space, yet receive valuable support and expertise in their development projects.
Organizations can tap knowledge resources and involve skilled people from all around the globe.
Skills, knowledge and time of people who are happy to make an influence can move development projects forward. More knowledge and support gained with minimal expenditure. The central item of the Netaid.org Online Volunteering module is the list of open assignments submitted by development organizations. People interested in volunteering can find assignments via a search engine or by browsing the whole list.
