virtual volunteering project FAQs
 
is the virtual volunteering project trying to
get rid of face-to-face volunteering?

No way! Virtual volunteering is usually an augmentation of an agency's existing, on-site volunteering program. In fact, many online volunteers mix their cyberservice with face-to-face service at the same agency.

There are many great reasons to recruit and involve volunteers via online technologies. Replacing face-to-face volunteers, however, is not one of them.
