Voluntaria
Many people donate time to help others. Voluntaria
points at ways you can use time spent online to help voluntary
organizations.
Bringing volunteers and activities
together - Enjoy the satisfaction of achieving
something that is appreciated by others! Experience the
pleasure of helping people without making them pay for it! Lay
the basis of friendships that may last a lifetime!
- One organization specializing in volunteer activities is
Hearts and Minds.
- Do you need help? Have you considered seeking help or
helping others through mailing lists? If there are topics
that you love to talk about or have special expertise in,
why not join one or more of the mailing lists
associated with the Optionality Network. See if one of your hobbies,
favorite topics or activities is included!
The Thought behind Voluntarism - In many
respects, volunteers share a state of mind that makes working
together so good. It is important to reflect on the values and
ideologies behind volunteer activities. Some interesting links
are:
- The Voluntaryist
discusses voluntaryism as an ideology.
- The article Voluntaria:
beyond politics! in Optionality Magazine describes how
Voluntaria stays away from ideology.
- DonParagon's Vision of
the Future describes how interrelations between people
are moving beyond enforced compliance with laws and rules
towards voluntary compliance with the principle of mutual
agreement.
- In Libertaria
everybody is free and everything is free!
Free Stuff - On the Web, there are many
pages with things that are free.
- If you are looking for things that are free, the Free
Stuff pages at the Optionality Network have many links
to things that are free, as well as links to further sites
with Free Stuff.
- If you have something to offer for free, you can post a
message at the Things For Free
and free_services
groups at Yahoo!
Donations - Unlike most charities,
Voluntaria does not ask for financial contributions.
Voluntaria is operated entirely by people who donate their
time and resources for free, no strings attached! If you want
to help, promote Voluntaria by getting other sites to link to
this page and join one or more of the mailing lists.
Voluntaria needs more experts and counsellors to participate
in the mailing lists!
If you do want to support Voluntaria or other voluntary
organizations financially, you can do so by organizing your
shopping in the following way:
- iGive
helps you with online shopping and donates part of
the money you spend to a charity or voluntary organization
of your choice.
