MYS Volunteers:

Do you…

Have time to lend a hand? A desire to help? Posses a skill or special training? All you need is a computer and you are on your way to making a difference. There has been a shift from the traditional methods of volunteering to embracing technology and using it as tool to make a change.

A virtual volunteer can volunteer at MYS from the comfort of their home, work space or from their lap top between classes or meetings or while sitting in an airport with WiFi access! The beauty of virtual volunteering is that it can be done locally or from abroad and at your convenience, anytime day or night.

Below are samples of work created by virtual volunteers since it was first launched in 1998.
