apply to volunteer with this project
The VV Project is not currently accepting applications from new volunteers.
We are concentrating our assignments on our current volunteer ranks.If you are looking for an online volunteering assignment, please see our resources for volunteers,
which provides many leads and strategies.Our volunteer application form is listed below, however, this form is no longer functional;
it is shown here as reference only, to help other organizations in crafting their own online application for volunteers.
If you would like to volunteer or to be an intern (unpaid) with the Virtual Volunteering Project, please:
Most of our online opportunities relate to online review and research, Web site development and volunteer coordination and management. All of the assignments require a great deal of reading. The Virtual Volunteering Project is part of the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin, and some online assignments managed by the VV Project staff are in support of other Dana Center programs.
If you have other interests (working directly with young people or seniors, helping environmental agencies, etc.), or do not meet the criteria for volunteering virtually with our Project, please view our suggestions for finding a virtual opportunity, and our Advice for Volunteers.
If you find answering the following questions cumbersome or annoying, volunteering online is probably not for you. Cyber service requires a great deal of reading, attention to detail and the ability to follow written directions. There's nothing virtual about your commitment as a volunteer and the time it will take to be an online volunteer. Filling out this application completely demonstrates your understanding of this, and demonstrates that you will see a project through to its completion.
The more information you provide on this application, the more likely we will be able to find or create a volunteer assignment that's right for you. However, we cannot guarantee that you will receive an online assignment; matching potential volunteers to tasks is at the discretion of the Virtual Volunteering Project Manager.
Note: when you "submit", your information is automatically sent to the Virtual Volunteering Project staff via e-mail.If you have problems using this form, e-mail us.
