The organization may need to contact you with a critical issue before you complete the assignment. If you are interacting one-on-one with someone as part of the virtual assignment, responsiveness is crucial to the success of your online relationship.

What benefits do you expect out of volunteering virtually? What results should the organization expect because of your volunteering?

If you prefer in-person volunteer interaction as opposed to online, call up your Volunteer Centre today and see if there is a right fit for you in-person, not online!
