Microvolunteering Day

It’s International Microvolunteering Day! Every April 15 since 2014 Microvolunteering Day has been recognised. Let’s explore the day for my ‘M’ post in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

What is Microvolunteering?

Apparantly the most generic definition is:


‘bite-sized, on-demand, no commitment actions that benefit a worthy cause’

People who want to put their spare moments to good use can find worthy causes who need a small volunteering task completed.

How can I Microvolunteer?

The Microvolunteering Day website has plenty of ideas to choose from. Many can be done online but there are off-line options as well. The tasks include skilled, one-off tasks and unskilled repeatable tasks. Ideas include playing games for research, smartphone volunteering, helping science, writing, crafting and recycling. They also link to a number of microvolunteering platforms that you can explore for even more options.
