5 Opportunities for your Digital Volunteering as a Digital Nomad

As a digital nomad, you have the freedom to work from anywhere in the world. And at the same time, you can do a lot of good while you’re on the road. For example, through a digital volunteering with a social organisation. In this article, we show you 5 ways to get involved remotely. And on vostel.de you find lots of matching projects for your digitial volunteering.

Here’s how you can engage digitally and remotely:
      1. Take on an online sponsorship
      2. Get involved remotely for seniors
      3. Support organisations in online marketing
      4. Support with your design skills
      5. Support with your programming skills

1. Take on an Online Sponsorship

Support School Children with Tutoring

Educational opportunities in Germany are very unequally distributed for children from different social, family and financial backgrounds. On vostel.de, there are many organisations that work for more educational justice through free, multilingual and low-threshold online tutoring. You can support them by providing online tutoring yourself and helping a child to get a better education.

Support Newcomers in their Learning & Everyday Life

Refugees are particularly dependent on support during their first time in their new home. In learning the new language, in developing skills for starting a career or simply in everyday matters. By mentoring or supporting a language course, you can be a great help to them.

2. Get involved remotely for Seniors

Even if it sounds surprising at first, you can also support senior citizens while on the road. For example, by teaching them how to use their smartphone or tablet safely online. You can also write letters to lonely seniors who would appreciate a few kind words and an exchange. Telephone friendship is also possible and can bring a lot of joy to an older person (and to yourself).

3. Support Organisations in Online Marketing

Support in Social Media

Do you enjoy writing, creating social media posts and know your way around Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Then you could offer your skills as a social media expert to help non-profit organisations increase their reach on social media.

Support with your SEO skills

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is more your thing? Then why not help an organisation to be found by more people via search engines? Whether it’s a short consultation or project support for website and blog optimisation – your knowledge is worth its weight in gold.

Support in the Editorial Work

Do you enjoy editorial work, writing texts and would love diving into a completely new topic? Then you could support organisations in the production of their newsletters, blog posts or other publications and at the same time develop your own creative writing skills.

4. Support with your Design Skills

For example, by designing flyers or posters for charitable events or creating visual content for websites and social media channels. Not only will you make the organisation happy, but you can also develop your own design skills in a new field.

5. Support with your Programming Skills
