International Microvolunteering Day
Not everyone has the time or ability to volunteer regularly. For anyone who may be feeling the urge to do something worthwhile (perhaps for nature conservation) or wanting to give back to the community but doesn't know how, the International Day of Microvolunteering may be the answer.
Microvolunteering is a concept that has become increasingly popular over the past 15 years. It involves individuals taking convenient actions to support good causes, often from the comfort of their own homes. The idea of microvolunteering is simple: individuals undertake small actions to positively impact the world around them. International Microvolunteering Day was established in 2014 to raise awareness about this form of short, easy, and active citizenship. People are encouraged to get involved and make a difference, whether it's writing letters to hospitalized patients or tagging photos online to assist visually impaired individuals. There are various local, national, and international opportunities for microvolunteering, allowing individuals to contribute without leaving their homes. Celebrating International Microvolunteering Day is a chance to find a project to support and help make the world a better place. Whether it's finding opportunities that align with your skills and time frame, recruiting microvolunteers for your organization, or exploring volunteer opportunities with the United Nations, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
