“Online volunteers engage with grassroots
organizations, international NGOs, governments and United Nations agencies over
the Internet. By sharing their skills, knowledge and ideas directly with these
organizations, online volunteers…
Enhance organizations’ resources
Online volunteers provide organizations with
additional skills and expertise that may not be available locally. Coming from
various backgrounds and cultures, they bring new ideas and fresh perspectives.
Six online volunteers supported the Youth for
Technology Foundation in establishing the Sironko Digital Village, a community
technology and learning center in Uganda. They developed strategies for
training courses and income generation. They created a webpage, developed
marketing material, researched potential donors, managed a contacts database of
supporters and conducted outreach campaigns. Finally, they made recommendations
on networking equipment, Internet connection and providers, online facilities
and electricity supply.
Develop organizations’ capacities
Online volunteers can increase an organization’s
institutional capacities by training staff, teaching new skills or providing
guidance and advice.
Online volunteers have advised a youth focused
NGO in Tanzania, the Tanzania Media and Youth Development Association, on
lobbying and networking, and coached members of the NGO on how to negotiate
with decision makers in government, community, and the private sector. Now they
confidently engage with and receive strong support from leaders at all levels,
the organization’s recommendations have been relayed to Parliament, and it
successfully engaged in the coordination of a National Youth Employment Summit
Campaign.
Extend organizations’ networks
Online volunteers learn about the organizations
with which they collaborate and the people it serves, and in turn share this
information with their friends and colleagues – mobilizing additional support.
The organization Teach a Man to Fish works
towards transforming agricultural education in developing countries. After
discussing the details of an assignment for designing an online game, which
would help partners understand the organization’s educational model, an online
volunteer realized that the project needed additional support. Through his
private and professional networks, he put together a team of five engineers and
artists and coordinated the team’s activities to help develop the game.”
