E-volunteering allows volunteers to contribute their skills and experiences to support community projects and schools abroad from their own homes through online and remote engagement. It provides an alternative for volunteers who are unable or unwilling to travel but still wish to make a contribution. Examples of e-volunteering activities include creating instructional videos, presentations, mentoring teachers through regular online conversations, and longer term placements developing curriculum or online resources. E-volunteering has helped continue volunteer support and cultural exchanges during the pandemic when travel is restricted by enabling volunteers to share skills remotely.
