Microvolunteering
Understanding Microvolunteering
Microvolunteering enables people to offer their time in small chunks. Volunteers can manage how often they take part in Microvolunteering activities and can fit them flexibly around other commitments by completing a series of easy tasks that can be done anytime, anywhere – Whether you’ve got two minutes or two hours to give – It’s time to find out how you can make a difference.
Our choice Microvolunteering opportunities:
