The landscape of volunteering has changed since the ushering in of 21st century technology—and for the better. While community-based volunteering was at one time limited to lending help in local soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and other on-site opportunities, the proliferation of information and digital media has allowed non-profits to expand the scope of their projects and has opened up realms of volunteerism that had, at one point, never before existed.

In an age where we are more connected than ever, volunteers now have the capacity to provide a whole new range of services—many of them from the comforts of home. Thanks to tools like Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, or any of the other digital tools used to run successful brand awareness, crowdsourcing, and fundraising campaigns, professionals can employ their expertise to assist NGOs meet their respective goals, all while building on experiences that they can snugly nestle into their resumes.

At HavServe, our network of volunteers have lent their time to contribute to many of the campaigns we’ve established to help bring greater attention and care to empowering communities in rural Haiti. We’ve welcomed a host of bloggers, graphic designers, social media experts, and authorities in the field of communications to help build our team and raise funds for our on-site programs.

HavServe’s volunteer opportunities are in person in Central Florida. To support our work in Southern Haiti, you can sponsor a child or give.

Serve With Us.
