virtual volunteering project FAQs
 
how many agencies involve online volunteers?

This question is impossible questions to answer: there is no central registration of organizations or individuals engaged in any type of volunteering, let alone cyber service. Plus, many organizations that involve online volunteers don't know the terms "virtual volunteering" or "cyber service," and do not distinguish virtual involvement as different from on-site service.

The Project has profiled more than 100 agencies involving online volunteers, but this is by no means a list of all organizations engaged in virtual volunteering -- these are just some of those the Project staff knows about.

Using the feedback and profiles of agencies and volunteers featured on our Web site, it is possible to create a general profile of the people who are performing online service, the agencies they are assisting and the kinds of service being performed.
