Virtual volunteering has been around long before COVID-19, but the current constraints under which we are living has made it something that many nonprofits are now considering for the first time to help them address physical distancing and gathering restrictions, suspended or closed volunteer programs. In addition, some of those restrictions have caused many volunteers to have to step away from volunteering.
This is a virtual workshop.
